Numbers 17:1-5 ▼

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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 and write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers’ households.

4 You shall then deposit them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you.

5 And it will come about that the rod of the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will rid Myself of the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you.”
