And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹

Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and take³⁹⁴⁷ of every one of them a rod⁴²⁹⁴ according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ of all their princes⁵³⁸⁷ according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers¹ twelve⁸¹⁴⁷ rods:⁴²⁹⁴ write³⁷⁸⁹ thou every man's³⁷⁶ name⁸⁰³⁴ upon his rod.⁴²⁹⁴

And thou shalt write³⁷⁸⁹ Aaron's¹⁷⁵ name⁸⁰³⁴ upon the rod⁴²⁹⁴ of Levi:³⁸⁷⁸ for one²⁵⁹ rod⁴²⁹⁴ shall be for the head⁷²¹⁸ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers.¹

And thou shalt lay them up³²⁴⁰ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ where I will meet³²⁵⁹ with you.

And it shall come to pass, that the man's³⁷⁶ rod,⁴²⁹⁴ whom I shall choose,⁹⁷⁷ shall blossom:⁶⁵²⁴ and I will make to cease⁷⁹¹⁸ from me the murmurings⁸⁵¹⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whereby they murmur³⁸⁸⁵ against you.

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and every one of their princes⁵³⁸⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him a rod⁴²⁹⁴ apiece,⁵³⁸⁷ for each prince⁵³⁸⁷ one,²⁵⁹ according to their fathers'¹ houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ even twelve⁶²⁴⁰ rods:⁴²⁹⁴ and the rod⁴²⁹⁴ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ was among⁸⁴³² their rods.⁴²⁹⁴

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² laid up³²⁴⁰ the rods⁴²⁹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of witness.⁵⁷¹⁵

And it came to pass, that on the morrow⁴²⁸³ Moses⁴⁸⁷² went⁹³⁵ into the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of witness;⁵⁷¹⁵ and, behold, the rod⁴²⁹⁴ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Levi³⁸⁷⁸ was budded,⁶⁵²⁴ and brought forth³³¹⁸ buds,⁶⁵²⁵ and bloomed⁶⁶⁹² blossoms,⁶⁷³¹ and yielded¹⁵⁸⁰ almonds.⁸²⁴⁷

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² brought out³³¹⁸ all the rods⁴²⁹⁴ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ unto all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and they looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and took³⁹⁴⁷ every man³⁷⁶ his rod.⁴²⁹⁴

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Bring Aaron's¹⁷⁵ rod⁴²⁹⁴ again⁷⁷²⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ to be kept⁴⁹³¹ for a token²²⁶ against the rebels;⁴⁸⁰⁵ and thou shalt quite take away³⁶¹⁵ their murmurings⁸⁵¹⁹ from me, that they die⁴¹⁹¹ not.

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² did⁶²¹³ so: as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him, so did⁶²¹³ he.

And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, we die,¹⁴⁷⁸ we perish,⁶ we all perish.⁶

Whosoever cometh any thing near⁷¹³¹ unto the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ shall die:⁴¹⁹¹ shall we be consumed⁸⁵⁵² with dying?¹⁴⁷⁸
