| 1 | Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2 | Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers` house, of all their princes according to their fathers` houses, twelve rods: write you every man`s name on his rod. | Nm 1:5-16 Nm 2:3-30 Nm 10:14-27 |
| 3 | You shall write Aaron`s name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers` houses. | Nm 3:2 Nm 3:3 Nm 18:1 Nm 18:7 Ex 6:16 Ex 6:20 |
| 4 | You shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you. | Ex 25:16-22 Ex 29:42 Ex 29:43 Ex 30:6 Ex 30:36 |
| 5 | It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. | Nm 16:5 |
| 6 | Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers` houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. |
| 7 | Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony. | Nm 18:2 Ex 38:21 Ac 7:44 |
| 8 | It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds. | Nm 17:5 Gn 40:10 Ps 110:2 Ps 132:17 Ps 132:18 So 2:3 Isa 4:2 Ezk 17:24 Ezk 19:12 Ezk 19:14 Jn 15:1-6 |
| 9 | Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. |
| 10 | Yahweh said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die. | Heb 9:4 |
| 11 | Thus did Moses: as Yahweh commanded him, so did he. |
| 12 | The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. | Nm 26:11 Ps 90:7 Pr 19:3 Isa 57:16 Heb 12:5 |
| 13 | Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tent of Yahweh, dies: shall we perish all of us? | Nm 1:51-53 Nm 18:4-7 |
