“The staff of the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid myself of the Israelites’ complaints that they have been making about you.”

So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff, one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. Aaron’s staff was among them.

Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.
