Numbers 17 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Aaron's Rod Buds

Num 17:1 [fn]Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Num 17:2“Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod for each father’s household: twelve rods, from all their leaders according to their fathers’ households. You shall write each name on his rod,

Num 17:3

Num 17:3and write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers’ households.

Num 17:4

Num 17:4“You shall then deposit them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you.

Num 17:5

Num 17:5“It will come about that the rod of the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will lessen from upon Myself the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you.”

Num 17:6

Num 17:6Moses therefore spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers’ households, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron among their rods.

Num 17:7

Num 17:7So Moses deposited the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.

Num 17:8

Num 17:8Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.

Num 17:9

Num 17:9Moses then brought out all the rods from the presence of the LORD to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.

Num 17:10

Num 17:10But the LORD said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony [fn]to be kept as a sign against the [fn]rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die.”

Num 17:11

Num 17:11Thus Moses did; just as the LORD had commanded him, so he did.

Num 17:12

Num 17:12Then the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we perish, we are dying, we are all dying!

Num 17:13

Num 17:13“Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, must die. Are we to perish completely?”
