17:1 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
     
    17:2 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.  
     
    17:3 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. 
     
    17:4 And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the 
    testimony, where I will be made known to thee. 
     
    17:5 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. 
     
    17:6 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. 
     
    17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before Yehovah in the tabernacle of 
    witness. 
     
    17:8 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. 
     
    17:9 And Moses brought forth all the rods from before Yehovah to all the 
    sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took his rod. 
     
    17:10 And Yehovah 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. 
     
    17:11 And Moses and Aaron did as Yehovah commanded Moses, so did they. 
     
    17:12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut 
    off, we are destroyed, we are consumed. 
     
    17:13 Every one that touches the tabernacle of Yehovah, dies: shall we die 
    utterly?  | 
    17:1 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 
     
    17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod 
    according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to 
    the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his 
    rod. 
     
    17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod 
    shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. 
     
    17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before 
    the testimony, where I will meet with you. 
     
    17:5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, 
    shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the 
    children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. 
     
    17:6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their 
    princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their 
    fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their 
    rods. 
     
    17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before Yehovah in the tabernacle of 
    witness. 
     
    17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle 
    of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, 
    and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 
     
    17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before Yehovah unto all the 
    children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 
     
    17:10 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the 
    testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite 
    take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. 
     
    17:11 And Moses did so: as Yehovah commanded him, so did he. 
     
    17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, 
    we perish, we all perish. 
     
    17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of Yehovah shall 
    die: shall we be consumed with dying?  |
