Numbers 17:2-9

LEB(i) 2 "Speak to the Israelites,* and take from among them twelve staffs, a staff from each family* from among all their leaders according to their families' households. Write the name of each man on his staff, 3 and the name of Aaron on the staff of Levi, because one staff is for the head of each of their families.* 4 You must then put them in the tent of assembly before* the testimony* where I meet with you. 5 And it will happen, the man whom I will choose, his staff will blossom, and so I will rid from upon myself the grumblings of the Israelites,* who are grumbling against you." 6 Moses spoke to the Israelites,* and all their leaders gave him a staff for each leader, one from each of their families,* twelve staffs, and the staff of Aaron was in the midst of their tribes. 7 And Moses put the staffs before Yahweh in the tent of testimony. 8 Then the next day, Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed and put forth a flower and produced blossoms, and it produced almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out to all the Israelites* all the staffs before the presence of Yahweh, and they saw, and each man took his staff.
