Speak[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and take[H3947] of them rods[H4294], one for each fathers[H1]' house[H1004], of all their princes[H5387] according to their fathers[H1]' houses[H1004], twelve[H8147] rods[H4294]: write[H3789] thou every man[H376]'s name[H8034] upon his rod[H4294].
3. And thou shalt write[H3789] Aaron[H175]'s name[H8034] upon the rod[H4294] of Levi[H3878]; for there shall be one[H259] rod[H4294] for each head[H7218] of their fathers[H1]' houses[H1004].
4. And thou shalt lay them up[H3240] in the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150] before[H6440] the testimony[H5715], where I meet with you[H3259].
5. And it shall come to pass[H4294], that the rod of the man[H376] whom I shall choose[H977] shall bud[H6524]: and I will make to cease[H7918] from me the murmurings[H8519] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], which they murmur against you[H3885].
6. And Moses[H4872] spake[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]; and all their princes[H5387] gave[H5414] him rods[H4294], for each prince[H5387] one[H259], according to their fathers[H1]' houses[H1004], even twelve[H6240] rods[H4294]: and the rod[H4294] of Aaron[H175] was among[H8432] their rods[H4294].
7. And Moses[H4872] laid up[H3240] the rods[H4294] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] in the tent[H168] of the testimony[H5715].
8. And it came to pass on the morrow[H4283], that Moses[H4872] went[H935] into the tent[H168] of the testimony[H5715]; and[H4294], behold, the rod of Aaron[H175] for the house[H1004] of Levi[H3878] was budded[H6524], and put forth[H3318] buds[H6525], and produced[H6692] blossoms[H6731], and bare[H1580] ripe almonds[H8247].
9. And Moses[H4872] brought out[H3318] all the rods[H4294] from before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] unto all the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]: and they looked[H7200], and took[H3947] every man[H376] his rod[H4294].
10. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Put[H7725] back[H7725] the rod[H4294] of Aaron[H175] before[H6440] the testimony[H5715], to be kept[H4931] for a token[H226] against the children of rebellion[H4805]; that thou mayest make an end[H3615] of their murmurings[H8519] against me[H4191], that they die not.
11. Thus did[H6213] Moses[H4872]: as Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] him[H6213], so did he.
12. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559], Behold[H1478], we perish, we are undone[H6], we are all undone[H6].
13. Every one that cometh near[H7131], that cometh near unto the tabernacle[H4908] of Jehovah[H3068], dieth[H4191]: shall we perish[H8552] all of us[H1478]?
