Num 17:1

Num 17:1And the Lord said to Moses,

Num 17:2

Num 17:2Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.

Num 17:3

Num 17:3And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.

Num 17:4

Num 17:4And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.

Num 17:5

Num 17:5And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.

Num 17:6

Num 17:6So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.

Num 17:7

Num 17:7And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.

Num 17:8

Num 17:8Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.

Num 17:9

Num 17:9Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.

Num 17:10

Num 17:10And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.

Num 17:11

Num 17:11This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.

Num 17:12

Num 17:12And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.

Num 17:13

Num 17:13Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?
