How do we interpret the significance of Aaron's rod that budded?

Answered in 1 source

Aaron's rod symbolizes Christ's chosen priesthood and His resurrection power.

In Numbers 17, Aaron's rod budded as a divine sign showing that God chose Aaron’s lineage for the priesthood. This miraculous event is a foreshadowing of Christ, who is the ultimate high priest and the source of eternal life. The rod represents the authority and life that comes through Christ, who is alive and ministers on our behalf in heaven. The blossoming of the rod serves as assurance to believers that Christ’s priesthood brings life and intercession even amidst spiritual barrenness, thus affirming the hope of our faith rooted in His resurrection.
