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?
