Question: What contained Aaron’s rod in later years?
Answer: The Ark of the Covenant. (Hebrews 9:4)
Comments: The Ark of the Covenant housed a golden jar of manna, Aaron's rod (which had miracuously budded), and the tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written. (Hebrews 9:4)
having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant; (Hebrews 9:4, NASB)
These items are not listed in any one place in the Old Testament, but are found instead in Hebrews. The writer of Hebrews draws from three different Old Testament passages to create this list. At various points, God tells Moses to put the gold jar of manna (Exodus 16:33-34), Aaron's staff that had budded (Number 17:10), and the stone tablets of the covenant (Exodus 25:16) into the Ark.
