The Word of יהוה communicates spiritual concepts through physical things. This is known as speaking in parables (Isa 28:9-12, Psa 78:1-4, Mat 13:3, Mat 13:10-13, Mat 13:34-35, Mar 4:33-34). In our opinion, among the most profound parables within the Word of יהוה are the branch in Moses and Aaron’s hands, the offerings and the tabernacle in the wilderness - referring to its design, furnishings, boundaries and those serving and guarding within its boundaries. The design of the tabernacle in the wilderness along with all its furnishings, boundaries and those serving and guarding within its boundaries serve as a “copy and shadow of the heavenly things... for when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, ‘See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.’” (Heb 8:5, Exo 25:8-9, Exo 25:40, Exo 26:30, Exo 27:8)
Aaron’s branch budded, blossomed and yielded ripening almonds [Num 17]. This almond branch serves as a shadow or parable of the Righteous Branch prophesied by Jeremiah:
