7Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony.
8It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
9Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
10Yahweh said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.
11Thus did Moses: as Yahweh commanded him, so did he.
12The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
13Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tent of Yahweh, dies: shall we perish all of us?
