1 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto Moses 4872, saying 559,
2 Speak 1696 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and take 3947 of every one of them a rod 4294 4294 according to the house 1004 of their fathers 1, of all their princes 5387 according to the house 1004 of their fathers 1 twelve 8147 6240 rods 4294: write 3789 thou every man's 376 name 8034 upon his rod 4294.
3 And thou shalt write 3789 Aaron's 175 name 8034 upon the rod 4294 of Levi 3878: for one 259 rod 4294 shall be for the head 7218 of the house 1004 of their fathers 1.
4 And thou shalt lay them up 3240 in the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150 before 6440 the testimony 5715, where I will meet 3259 with you.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's 376 rod 4294, whom I shall choose 977, shall blossom 6524: and I will make to cease 7918 from me the murmurings 8519 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, whereby they murmur 3885 against you.
6 And Moses 4872 spake 1696 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and every one of their princes 5387 gave 5414 him a rod 4294 4294 apiece, for each prince 5387 5387 one 259 259, according to their fathers 1' houses 1004, even twelve 6240 8147 rods 4294: and the rod 4294 of Aaron 175 was among 8432 their rods 4294.
7 And Moses 4872 laid up 3240 the rods 4294 before 6440 the LORD 3068 in the tabernacle 168 of witness 5715.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow 4283 Moses 4872 went 935 into the tabernacle 168 of witness 5715; and, behold, the rod 4294 of Aaron 175 for the house 1004 of Levi 3878 was budded 6524, and brought forth 3318 buds 6525, and bloomed 6692 blossoms 6731, and yielded 1580 almonds 8247.
9 And Moses 4872 brought out 3318 all the rods 4294 from before 6440 the LORD 3068 unto all the children 1121 of Israel 3478: and they looked 7200, and took 3947 every man 376 his rod 4294.
10 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, Bring 7725 0 Aaron's 175 rod 4294 again 7725 before 6440 the testimony 5715, to be kept 4931 for a token 226 against the rebels 4805 1121; and thou shalt quite take away 3615 their murmurings 8519 from me, that they die 4191 not.
11 And Moses 4872 did 6213 so: as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 him, so did 6213 he.
12 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 spake 559 unto Moses 4872, saying 559, Behold, we die 1478, we perish 6, we all perish 6.
13 Whosoever cometh any thing near 7131 unto the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068 shall die 4191: shall we be consumed 8552 with dying 1478?
