Numbers 17
Numbers 17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the
congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
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.
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.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the
tabernacle of witness.
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.
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.
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.
11 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,
Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the
LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
