Aaron's staff was among them. |
| 7Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the tent of the covenant law. | 7And Moses deposited the staffs before the LORD in the tent of the testimony. | 7So Moses deposited the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony. | 7And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. | 7Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the tent of the testimony. |
| 8The next day Moses entered the tent and saw that Aaron's staff, which represented the tribe of Levi, had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds. | 8On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds. | 8Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds. | 8And 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. | 8The next day Moses entered the tent of the testimony and saw that Aaron's staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, formed buds, blossomed, and produced almonds! |
| 9Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD's presence to all the Israelites. They looked at them, and each of the leaders took his own staff. | 9Then Moses brought out all the staffs from before the LORD to all the people of Israel. And they looked, and each man took his staff. | 9Moses then brought out all the rods from the presence of the LORD to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod. | 9And 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. | 9Moses then brought out all the staffs from the LORD's presence to all the Israelites.

| 10The LORD said to Moses, "Put back Aaron's staff in front of the ark of the covenant law, to be kept as a sign to the rebellious. This will put an end to their grumbling against me, so that they will not die." | 10And the LORD said to Moses, “Put back the staff of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their grumblings against me, lest they die.” | 10But the LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die." | 10And 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. | 10The LORD told Moses, "Put Aaron's staff back in front of the testimony to be kept as a sign for the rebels, so that you may put an end to their complaints before Me, or else they will die." |
| 11Moses did just as the LORD commanded him. | 11Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so he did. | 11Thus Moses did; just as the LORD had commanded him, so he did. | 11And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he. | 11So Moses did as the LORD commanded him. |
| 12The Israelites said to Moses, "We will die! We are lost, we are all lost! | 12And the people of Israel said to Moses, “Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. | 12Then the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Behold, we perish, we are dying, we are all dying! | 12And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. | 12Then the Israelites declared to Moses, "Look, we're perishing! We're lost; we're all lost! |
| 13Anyone who even comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to die?" | 13Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, shall die. Are we all to perish?” | 13"Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, must die. Are we to perish completely?" | 13Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying? | 13Anyone who comes near the LORD's tabernacle will die. Will we all perish?" |
