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 loquere ad filios Israhel et accipe ab eis virgas singulas per cognationes suas a cunctis principibus tribuum virgas duodecim et uniuscuiusque nomen superscribes virgae suae
3 nomen autem Aaron erit in tribu Levi et una virga cunctas eorum familias continebit
4 ponesque eas in tabernaculo foederis coram testimonio ubi loquar ad te
5 quem ex his elegero germinabit virga eius et cohibebo a me querimonias filiorum Israhel quibus contra vos murmurant
