Numbers
Chapter 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?
