Numbers 17:1-5 ▼

1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rodde, after the houses of their fathers, of all their princes accordyng to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue roddes: and write euery mans name vpon his rodde.

3 And write Aarons name vpon the rodde of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for ye head of the house of their fathers.

4 And put them in the tabernacle of the congregation, before the arke of the testimonie, where I wyll declare my selfe vnto you.

5 And the mans rodde whom I chose, shall blossome: And I wyll make ceasse from me the grudgynges of the children of Israel, wherby they grudge agaynst you.
