And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“
Speak to
the Israelites
and take from
them twelve
staffs
, one from
the
leader
of
each tribe.
Write each
man’s
name on
his staff,
Speak unto
the children
of
Israel,
and take of
them rods
, one for
each fathers'
house,
of
all
their
princes
according
to
their
fathers'
houses,
twelve
rods:
write thou
every
man's
name upon
his rod.
and write Aaron’s
name on
the staff
of Levi ,
because
there must
be one staff
for the
head of each
tribe
.
And thou
shalt
write Aaron's
name upon
the rod
of Levi ;
for
there shall
be one rod
for each
head of their
fathers'
houses
.
Place
the
staffs
in the Tent of Meeting in
front
of
the Testimony, where I meet with you.
And
thou
shalt
lay
them
up
in the tent of meeting before
the testimony, where I meet with you.
The
staff
belonging
to the man I choose will
sprout,
and I will rid
Myself
of
the constant
grumbling
of the Israelites
against you. ”
And
it
shall
come
to pass,
that
the rod
of
the
man whom
I shall
choose shall
bud:
and I will make
to
cease
from
me
the murmurings
of the children
of
Israel,
which
they
murmur
against you.
So
Moses spoke
to
the Israelites,
and
each
of their leaders
gave him a
staff—one
for each of
the
leaders
of
their tribes
, twelve staffs
in
all.
And Aaron’s
staff
was among them
.
And
Moses spake
unto
the children
of Israel;
and
all
their princes
gave him rods,
for each prince
one,
according
to
their fathers'
houses
, even
twelve rods:
and the
rod
of
Aaron
was among their
rods
.
Then
Moses placed
the staffs
before the
LORD
in the Tent of the Testimony.
And
Moses laid
up
the rods
before Jehovah
in the tent of the testimony.
The next
day
Moses entered
the Tent of the Testimony and saw
that
Aaron’s
staff
, representing
the house of Levi ,
had
sprouted
, put forth buds, blossomed,
and produced almonds.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
Moses went
into
the tent of the testimony ;
and, behold,
the rod
of
Aaron
for
the
house of Levi was
budded
, and
put forth buds, and produced blossoms,
and
bare
ripe
almonds.
Then
Moses brought out all the staffs
from the
LORD’s
presence
to
all the Israelites.
They saw
them
, and each
man
took his own
staff
.
And
Moses brought out all the rods
from before
Jehovah
unto
all the children
of
Israel:
and
they looked
, and took every
man
his rod
.
The
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Put Aaron’s
staff
back in
front
of the Testimony, to be kept as
a
sign
for the rebellious,
so
that you
may
put
an end to
their grumbling
against Me, lest
they die. ”
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Put back the
rod
of Aaron
before
the testimony, to be kept for a
token
against
the children
of
rebellion;
that thou
mayest
make
an end of
their murmurings
against me, that
they die not
.
So
Moses
did as the
LORD
had
commanded him.
Thus
did Moses:
as Jehovah
commanded him ,
so
did
he
.
Then
the Israelites
declared
to
Moses, “Look
, we are
perishing!
We are lost;
we are all lost!
And
the children
of
Israel
spake
unto
Moses, saying
, Behold,
we perish,
we are undone,
we are all undone.
Anyone
who
comes
near the tabernacle of the
LORD
will
die.
Are
we all
going
to
perish? ”
Every
one
that
cometh
near ,
that
cometh
near
unto
the tabernacle of Jehovah,
dieth:
shall
we perish all
of
us
?
