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
speake vnto the childern of Israel and take of them for euery pryncypall housse a rod of their princes ouer the housses of their fathers: euen .xij. roddes and wryte euery mans name apon his rod.
3
And wryte Aarons name apon the staffe of Leui: for euery heedman ouer the housses of their fathers shall haue a rod.
4
And put the in the tabernacle of witnesse where I wyll mete you.
5
And his rod whom I chose shall blossome: So I wyll make cease from me the grudgynges of the childern of Israel which they grudge agenst you.
