Talk:Aaron's rod

Jewish Encyclopedia
It's wrong that [...]as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi[...]. only the sons of Aaron had the right to be priests. The Levi were their helpers and also fullfiled some kind of "rabbi"-functionc in the land of israel --Baruch ben Alexander &#9993;&#9997; 13:45, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Solomon Kane's staff was that of Moses per Footfalls Within. Marvel Tales#19.

Other rods
Any evidence that Aaron's Rod is related to the legends of Rod of Asclepius and Caduceus in that the Hebrew legend resurfaced in Greek and Roman mythologies? --Kvasir 05:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

There is no reference to the biological/botanical use of the term. Goldenrod and mullein are frequently referred to as 'Aaron's Rod'

In Hebrew Aaron's rod turns into an alligator not a snake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.108.232.141 (talk) 21:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

In Islam...
I think without citation the sub-title "In Islam" is very vague and the article would do better without it. Moreover plenty of citations for the Moses' rod could be found in Quran so there is no need for Aaron's rod context and that too is a funny one!

Agreed - I replaced the quote, however there is material in all sections of the article that relate more to Moses's staffs than to Aaron's.- WMHS--WMHS 05:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Christianity
Some older carvings of Jesus on sarcophogi depict Jesus performing miracles with a rod in his hand (if not a scroll). Could this be another connection to the staff of Moses or Aaron?
 * Yes, that would be Aaron's Rod. Christ is reffered to as the New Covenant, and the Covenant was inside of the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron's rod was one of the items inside the Ark. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 00:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
