| [1]And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, |
[1]And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, |
| [2]Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods of them, according to the houses of their families, a rod from all their princes, according to the houses of their families, twelve rods, and write the name of each on his rod. |
[2]Speak unto the children of Israel and take of every one of them a rod, after the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the family of their fathers, even twelve rods: and thou shalt write every man's name upon his rod. |
| [3]And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi; for it is one rod for each: they shall give them according to the tribe of the house of their families. |
[3]And write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for every rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. |
| [4]And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to thee. |
[4]And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of the congregation, before the ark of the testimony, where I will declare myself to you. |
| [5]And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall blossom; and I will remove from me the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. |
[5]And the man's rod, whom I choose, shall blossom: and I will make cease from me the grudgings of the children of Israel, which grudge against you. |
| [6]And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him a rod each, for one chief a rod, according to the house of their families, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was in the midst of the rods. |
[6]Then Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him a rod, one rod for every prince, according to the houses of their fathers, even twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. |
| [7]And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. |
[7]And Moses laid the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. |
| [8]And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed, and put forth a bud, and bloomed blossoms and produced almonds. |
[8]And when Moses on the morrow went into the tabernacle of the testimony, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and brought forth blossoms, and bear ripe almonds. |
| [9]And Moses brought forth all the rods from before the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took his rod. |
[9]Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord unto all the children of Israel: and they looked upon them, and took every man his rod. |
| [10]And the Lord said to Moses, Lay up the rod of Aaron before the testimonies to be kept as a sign for the children of the disobedient; and let their murmuring cease from me, and they shall not die. |
[10]After, the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony to be kept for a token to the rebellious children, and thou shalt cause their murmurings to cease from me, that they die not. |
| [11]And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they. |
[11]So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him: so did he. |
| [12]And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed. |
[12]And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we are dead, we perish, we are all lost: |
| [13]Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly? |
[13]Whosoever cometh near, or approacheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, shall die: shall we be consumed and die? |
