Shalom friends, some of you may be wondering about Aaron's staff, which also played an important role, for example it was used to initiate the first three plagues. While there are instances wherein the two staffs overlap and work together in their roles and functions, they also carry distinct symbolism and are associated with different aspects of leadership and Divine service. Some authorities maintain that Aaron used his own staff in initiating the first three plagues, while others sages state that Aaron used Moshe's staff. Since Aaron's staff is a whole other story and would have been distractingly tangential to the main theme of our lesson, I purposely did not relate to it here...but will relate to it in the future with Hashem's help. Thank you!
Thank you K'VOD haRAV, for another meaningful teaching and for this side note of AHARON's staff, I'm looking forward to that teaching also.... it's so true that HASHEM'S help and care is always here with us,but we have to understand that it depends on us if we will benefit of that miracles or not,if we will find and remain on DERECH haSHEM ,if we will make TESHUVA, and we'll prove to HaSHEM that we have the entire EMUNA AND BITACHON ONLY IN HIM AMEN ve AMEN!!!MAY HaShem bless and protect you, all AM ISRAEL and ALL your loved ones, always AMEN ve AMEN ISHTABACH SHEMO laADDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!💞✡️🕎💞

Actually, Rephidin "rod" in numbers shud be Aaron's rod, but Thy rod n thy staff, two different things, comfort thee... Moses staff, Aaron's rod....Moses staff from the Great Pyramid, Aaron's rod from Testimony Ark
Rabbi, isn't the word for "rod" or "staff" in hebrew, same or closely related in grammatical form to "tribe"? Meaning, the tribes are really designed to hold us up in righteousness and fruitfulness like a rod is designed to hold Moshe and the isrelites up for over 6,000 years. Exodus 1:7 "but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them." Right before Exodus 1:7, it's all about the tribes... And at the ending of Genesis, it's all about the tribes... Right? Baruch Hashem for being the light.
@ Shevet (שֵׁבֶט) - “Tribe” Shevet (שֵׁבֶט) - “Rod” or “Staff” 1. “Rod” or “Staff” In ancient Israel, a שֵׁבֶט could refer to a physical rod or staff. A staff was often used by shepherds for guiding or protecting their flock, and by leaders as a symbol of authority or kingship. 2. “Tribe” The same word שֵׁבֶט came to signify “tribe” because each tribe (in biblical times) was understood as being under the authority or “staff” of its leader. The staff was thus a metonym-a concrete symbol-for the leadership and lineage of a particular group. Consequently, the term expanded to denote the tribe itself. Why do both meanings use the same word? Shared Root & Semitic Word Structure In Hebrew, many words that seem unrelated in English share the same root letters and thus carry connected connotations. The root ש‑ב‑ט originally has to do with “striking” or “wielding authority,” which naturally ties a staff (used for guiding, striking, or symbolizing leadership) to the concept of a tribe (the people under that leadership). Symbolic Connection In the ancient Near East, a staff was not only a shepherd’s or traveler’s tool but also a powerful symbol of rulership and identity. Over time, the link between the staff and the community it represented (the “tribe”) became so strong that the same word came to denote both. Biblical and Cultural Context Biblical Hebrew often employs physical, tangible objects (like a staff) to stand for the authority or identity of a group. For instance, Numbers 17 mentions Aaron’s rod (מַטֶּה, a synonym for שֵׁבֶט) as a sign of authority. Similarly, each of the twelve tribes of Israel was sometimes represented by a staff or emblem, reinforcing the connection between “staff” and “tribe.” Summary שֵׁבֶט (shevet) is a classic example of Hebrew’s root-based system: the same set of consonants (ש־ב־ט) yields related meanings-“rod”/“staff” and “tribe”-due to a common theme of authority and leadership. Essentially, the object (staff) became shorthand for those who followed or were identified by it (the tribe). :)
I pray for your heart to change. For you to give thumbs up to what is good and to turn away from what's evil. I know you must be coming here with a hurt heart. The Creator of the heart can heal you no matter the pain. Bless you in the King's Name.

This is the same Rod that Creation was from. The same Rod Adam possessed, the same Rod Yoseph (Joseph) possessed in Mitzrayim (Egypt).
Mosheh plucked the staff ( Rod of Elohim) from the garden of Re'uw'el (Jethro) upon being released from Jethro's prison after 10 years.
Right he thought he was Egyptian to find out he was Hebrew. Jethro daughter kept him alive during prison stay

Right?
Baruch Hashem for being the light.
The word for staff is “sharvit”.
The word for tribe is “shevet”.
Not related as far as I know, but I’m no expert.
But you pose an interesting idea.
