And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
2
SpeakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 and takeH3947 of every one of them a rodH4294 according to the houseH1004 of their fathers,H1 of allH3605 their princesH5387 according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 twelveH8147 H6240 rods:H4294 writeH3789 you every man'sH376 nameH8034 on his rod.H4294
3
And you shall writeH3789 Aaron'sH175 nameH8034 on the rodH4294 of Levi:H3878 for oneH259 rodH4294 shall be for the headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathers.H1
4
And you shall layH3240 them up in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 beforeH6440 the testimony,H5715 whereH834 H8033 I will meetH3259 with you.
5
And it shall comeH1961 to pass, that the man'sH376 rod,H4294 whomH834 I shall choose,H977 shall blossom:H6524 and I will make to ceaseH7918 from me the murmuringsH8519 of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 wherebyH834 they murmurH3885 againstH5921 you.
6
And MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 and everyH3605 one of their princesH5387 gaveH5414 him a rodH4294 apiece, for each princeH5387 one,H259 according to their fathers'H1 houses,H1004 even twelveH8147 H6240 rods:H4294 and the rodH4294 of AaronH175 was amongH8432 their rods.H4294
7
And MosesH4872 laidH3240 up the rodsH4294 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in the tabernacleH168 of witness.H5715
8
And it cameH1961 to pass, that onH5921 the morrowH4283 MosesH4872 wentH935 intoH413 the tabernacleH168 of witness;H5715 and, behold,H2009 the rodH4294 of AaronH175 for the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 was budded,H6524 and broughtH3318 forthH3318 buds,H6525 and bloomedH6692 blossoms,H6731 and yieldedH1580 almonds.H8247
9
And MosesH4872 broughtH3318 out allH3605 the rodsH4294 from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to allH3605 the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 and they looked,H7200 and tookH3947 every manH376 his rod.H4294
10
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Moses,H4872 BringH7725 Aaron'sH175 rodH4294 againH7725 beforeH6440 the testimony,H5715 to be keptH4931 for a tokenH226 against the rebels;H4805 and you shall quiteH3615 takeH3615 away their murmuringsH8519 from me, that they dieH4191 not.
11
And MosesH4872 didH6213 so: as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 him, soH3651 didH6213 he.
12
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 spokeH559 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559 Behold,H2005 we die,H1478 we perish,H6 we allH3605 perish.H6
13
WhoeverH3605 comesH7131 any thing nearH7138 to the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068 shall die:H4191 shall we be consumedH8552 with dying?H1478
