1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak
unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to
the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house
of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every mans name upon his rod. 3 And
thou shalt write Aarons name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be
for the head of the house of their fathers. 4 And thou shalt lay them
up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet
with you. 5 And it shall come to pass, that the mans rod,
whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the
murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. 6 And
Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him
a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers houses, even
twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And
Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the
tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was
budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 9 And
Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of
Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 10 And the LORD
said unto Moses, Bring Aarons rod again before the testimony, to be kept for
a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from
me, that they die not. 11 And Moses did so: as the LORD
commanded him, so did he. 12 And the children of Israel spake unto
Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. 13 Whosoever
cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be
consumed with dying?
