Num.|17:1|-|Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Num.|17:2|-|Speak to the children of Israel, and take from them |1a|rods, one for each father’s house, twelve rods from all their leaders according to their fathers’ houses; you shall write everyone’s name upon his rod.
Num.|17:3|-|And you shall write Aaron’s name upon the |a|rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the head of each of their fathers’ houses.
Num.|17:4|-|And you shall place them in the Tent of Meeting before the |1|Testimony, where I |a|meet with you.
Num.|17:5|-|And the rod of the man whom I |a|choose shall bud, and I will put a stop to the murmurings of the children of Israel against Me, which they |b|murmur against you.
Num.|17:6|-|So Moses spoke to the children of Israel. And every one of their leaders gave him a rod, one rod for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron among their rods.
Num.|17:7|-|And Moses placed the rods before Jehovah in the Tent of the Testimony.
Num.|17:8|-|And on the next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony, and there was the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi: it had |1|budded; it even put forth buds and produced blossoms and bore ripe |a|almonds.
Num.|17:9|-|And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked; and each one took his rod.
Num.|17:10|-|Then Jehovah said to Moses, |1|Put back the rod of Aaron before the Testimony to be kept as a |a|sign against the rebels, so that you may put an end to their murmurings against Me, and they not die.
Num.|17:11|-|And Moses did so; just as Jehovah commanded him, so he did.
Num.|17:12|-|And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Alas, we |1|die out; we perish; all of us perish.
Num.|17:13|-|Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of Jehovah, dies. Are we to completely die out?
