And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
02 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.
03 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.
04 And thou shalt lay them up in the
tabernacle of the congregation before the
testimony, where I will meet with you.
05 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.
06 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.

07 And Moses laid up the rods before the
Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
08 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.
09 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?
