Numbers 17 : 1 - 7
Chapter 17
| 1 | And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
|
| 2 | "Speak to the children of Israel, and get from them a rod from each father's house, all their leaders according to their fathers' houses--twelve rods. Write each man's name on his rod.
|
| 3 | And you shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi. For there shall be one rod for the head of each father's house.
|
| 4 | Then you shall place them in the tabernacle of meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you.
|
| 5 | And it shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose will blossom; thus I will rid Myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, which they make against you."
|
| 6 | So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
|
| 7 | And Moses placed the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
