7 Then Moses laid out the rods in the LORD'S presence, inside the Tent of Testimony. 8 The next morning, Moses went to the Tent of Testimony and the rod of Aaron of the tribe of Levi had burst into bloom! It sprouted buds, bloomed blossoms, and produced fully ripe almonds! 9 Then Moses took out all the rods from the LORD's presence to show all the Israelis. Everybody looked, and then each man took his rod. 10 Then the Lord instructed Moses, |Return Aaron's rod before the testimony to be kept for a reminder against the rebels so that you may put an end to their complaints against me and so that they won't die.| 11 So Moses did exactly what the LORD had commanded him to do. 12 Then the Israelis told Moses, |We're sure to die! We're all going to perish—all of us! 13 Anyone who comes near or approaches the LORD's tent is to die. Are all of us going to die?| Numbers 17:7-13, Intl. Standard Version.
