Numbers 17:3-9

³And the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod shall contain all their families:

⁴And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to thee.

⁵Whomsoever of these I shall choose, his rod shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, wherewith they murmur against you.

⁶And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and all the princes gave him rods one for every tribe: and there were twelve rods besides the rod of Aaron.

⁷And when Moses had laid them up before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony:

⁸He returned on the following day, and found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, was budded: and that the buds swelling it had bloomed blossoms, which spreading the leaves, were formed into almonds.

⁹Moses therefore brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel: and they saw, and every one received their rods.
