Numbers 17:8"And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."
"house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.” It was shown to the people, and afterward laid up in the tabernacle as a witness to succeeding generations. This miracle effectually settled the question of the priesthood. PP 403.1"
The EGW passage directly quotes and summarizes Numbers 17:8, describing Aaron's rod budding and yielding almonds. This is a clear and direct reference, making it an explicit allusion.
