And the Lord spake unto Moses After the plague ceased, for the further confirmation of the priesthood in Aaron's family, another method is directed to by the Lord:
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
3
And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
4
And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5
And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.
