1
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods of them, according to the houses of their families, a rod from all their princes, according to the houses of their families, twelve rods, and write the name of each on his rod.
3
And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi; for it is one rod : they shall give according to the tribe of the house of their families.
4
And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to thee.
5
And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall blossom; and I will remove from me the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.
