Midrash su Numeri 17:17
דַּבֵּ֣ר ׀ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְקַ֣ח מֵֽאִתָּ֡ם מַטֶּ֣ה מַטֶּה֩ לְבֵ֨ית אָ֜ב מֵאֵ֤ת כָּל־נְשִֽׂיאֵהֶם֙ לְבֵ֣ית אֲבֹתָ֔ם שְׁנֵ֥ים עָשָׂ֖ר מַטּ֑וֹת אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־שְׁמ֔וֹ תִּכְתֹּ֖ב עַל־מַטֵּֽהוּ׃
'Parla con i figli d'Israele e prendi loro le verghe, una per ogni padre'casa, di tutti i loro principi secondo i loro padri'case, dodici aste; tu scriverai ogni uomo's nome sulla sua canna.
Mekhilta d'Rabbi Yishmael
(Exodus 14:1-2) "And the L rd said to Moses, saying: Speak to the children of Israel that they return and encamp": R. Shimon b. Yochai says: Wherever it is written "saying and tell them," it (i.e., the command that follows) is for all generations, and wherever it is not written, (as in this instance) it is for that time alone. Rebbi says: Even where it is not written, it is for all generations, except for three instances, here, (Ibid. 25:1), and (Numbers 17:17).
