(Num 17:1) And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
(Num 17:2) Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of {their} fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
(Num 17:3) And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod {shall be} for the head of the house of their fathers.
(Num 17:4) And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
(Num 17:5) And it shall come to pass, {that} the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
(Num 17:6) And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, {even} twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron {was} among their rods.
(Num 17:7) And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
(Num 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.
(Num 17:9) And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
(Num 17:10) And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
(Num 17:11) And Moses did {so}: as the Lord commanded him, so did he.
(Num 17:12) And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
(Num 17:13) Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
