| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod for each father's household: twelve rods, from all their leaders according to their fathers' households. You shall write each name on his rod, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3and write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers' households. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"You shall then deposit them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"It will come about that the rod of the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will lessen from upon Myself the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Moses therefore spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers' households, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron among their rods. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7So Moses deposited the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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." |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Thus Moses did; just as the LORD had commanded him, so he did. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Behold, we perish, we are dying, we are all dying! |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, must die. Are we to perish completely?" |
