Numbers 17:3-9

³You must write Aaron's name on Levi's staff. There must be one staff for each leader from his ancestors' tribe.

⁴You must place the staffs in the tent of meeting in front of the covenant decrees, where I meet with you.

⁵It will happen that the staff of the man whom I choose will bud. I will cause the complaints from the people of Israel to stop, which they are speaking against you.”

⁶So Moses spoke to the people of Israel. All the tribal leaders gave him staffs, one staff from each leader, selected from each of the ancestral tribes, twelve staffs in all. Aaron's staff was among them.

⁷Then Moses deposited the staffs before Yahweh in the tent of the covenant decrees.

⁸The next day Moses went into the tent of the covenant decrees and, behold, Aaron's staff for the tribe of Levi had budded. It grew buds and produced blossoms and ripe almonds!

⁹Moses brought out all the staffs from before Yahweh to all the people of Israel, and each man took his staff.
