AND Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yashar'el, and take of everyone 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 you every man's name upon his rod.
And you shall write Aharon's name upon the rod of Leviy: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
And you shall lay them up in the Tabernacle of the assembly before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
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 Yashar'el, whereby they murmur against you.
And Mosheh spoke unto the children of Yashar'el, and everyone of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aharon was among their rods.
And Mosheh laid up the rods before Yahuah in the Tabernacle of witness.
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Mosheh went into the Tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aharon for the house of Leviy was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
And Mosheh brought out all the rods from before Yahuah unto all the children of Yashar'el: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
And Yahuah said unto El-Mosheh, Bring Aharon's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the sons of rebellion; and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
And Mosheh did so: as Yahuah commanded him, so did he.
And the children of Yashar'el spoke unto Mosheh, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
Whosoever comes anything near unto the Tabernacle of Yahuah shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
