Question
Hello, In Parashat Korach, Numbers 18:25, we see the command to keep Aaron's staff as a testimony so that there will be no more complaints or questions from the children of Israel about the choice of the tribe of Levi and Aaron. The staff is supposed to be before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, so when will the people be able to see it and remember this, since only the High Priest enters the Holy of Holies?
Answer
Hello
It is possible that it could be brought out if there were doubts about the priesthood.
Just as the jar of manna was kept in the Holy of Holies, and when there was a need for it, it was brought out to show the people, as Rashi writes (Exodus 16:32).
