The
Budding of Aaron’s Staff
17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 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.
17:3 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.
17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the
congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with
you.
17:5 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.
17:6 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.
17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the
tabernacle of witness.
17:8 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.
17:9 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.
17:10 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.
17:11 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did
he.
17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,
Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle
of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
