Orthodox Jewish Bible 1 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 (17:17) Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the Bais Av, of all their Nasiim according to the Bais of their Avot twelve rods; write thou every man's shem upon his matteh (rod, staff).
3 (17:18) And thou shalt write shem Aharon upon the rod of Levi; for one rod shall be for the Rosh of the Bais of their Avot.
4 (17:19) And thou shalt lay them up in the Ohel Mo'ed before HaEdut, where I will meet with you there.
5 (17:20) And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall sprout; and I will rid Myself of the murmurings of the Bnei Yisroel, whereby they murmur against you.
6 (17:21) And Moshe spoke unto the Bnei Yisroel, and every one of their Nasiim gave him a rod apiece, for each nasi one, according to their Bais Avot, even twelve rods; and the rod of Aharon was among their rods.
7 (17:22) And Moshe laid up the rods before Hashem in the Ohel HaEdut. 8 (17:23) And it came to pass, that the next day Moshe entered into the Ohel HaEdut; and, hinei, the rod of Aharon for the Bais Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 9 (17:24) And Moshe brought out all the rods from before Hashem unto Kol Bnei Yisroel; and they looked, and took every man his rod. 10 (17:25) And Hashem said unto Moshe, Bring Aharon's rod again before HaEdut, to be kept for an ot (sign) against the rebels; and thou shalt quite put an end to their murmurings against Me, that they die not. 11 (17:26) And Moshe did so; as Hashem commanded him, so did he. 12 (17:27) And the Bnei Yisroel spoke unto Moshe, saying, See, we die, we perish, we will all perish. 13 (17:28) Whoever even encroaches upon the Mishkan Hashem shall die. Shall we be consumed with dying? The Orthodox Jewish Bible fourth edition, OJB. Copyright 2002,2003,2008,2010, 2011 by Artists for Israel International. All rights reserved.
