- 1. ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
- 2. Speak to the children of Israel, and take from every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, from all their princes according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods; write each man’s name upon his rod.
- 3. And you shall write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi; for one rod shall be for the head of the tribe of their fathers.
- 4. And you shall put them in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
- 5. And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man with whom I am pleased shall bud; thus I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
- 6. And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was in the midst of their rods.
- 7. And Moses placed the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of the testimony.
- 8. ¶ And on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and blossomed, and yielded ripe almonds.
- 9. And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and took every man his rod.
- 10. And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod back before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the rebellious children; so that their murmurings may cease 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 said to Moses, Behold, we perish and are lost, we all perish.
- 13. Whosoever comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD shall die; and, behold, we also are near to perish.
