2Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers` house, of all their princes according to their fathers` houses, twelve rods: write you every man`s name on his rod.
3You shall write Aaron`s name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers` houses.
4You shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.
6Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers` houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony.
