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 man's name upon his rod. 3 And thou shalt write Aaron's 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 man's 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 Aaron's 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?
