Num 17:1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: Num 17:2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rodde, after the houses of their fathers, of all their princes accordyng to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue roddes: and write euery mans name vpon his rodde. Num 17:3 And write Aarons name vpon the rodde of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for ye head of the house of their fathers. Num 17:4 And put them in the tabernacle of the congregation, before [the arke] of the testimonie, where I wyll declare my selfe vnto you. Num 17:5 And the mans rodde whom I chose, shall blossome: And I wyll make ceasse from me the grudgynges of the children of Israel, wherby they grudge agaynst you. Num 17:6 And Moyses spake vnto the children of Israel, and all the princes gaue hym a rodde, one rodde for euery prince, accordyng to their fathers houses, euen twelue roddes: and the rodde of Aaron was among their roddes. Num 17:7 And Moyses put the roddes before the Lorde in the tabernacle of witnesse. Num 17:8 And on the morowe, Moyses went into the tabernacle of witnesse: and beholde, the rodde of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and brought foorth buddes, bare blossomes, and rype almondes. Num 17:9 And Moyses brought out all ye roddes from before the Lorde, vnto all the children of Israel: and they loked vpon them, and toke euery man his rodde. Num 17:10 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Bryng Aarons rodde agayne before the witnesse, to be kept for a token to the rebellious children, and that their murmuryng may cease from me, and that they dye not. Num 17:11 And Moyses dyd as the Lorde commaunded hym, euen so dyd he. Num 17:12 And the children of Israel spake vnto Moyses, saying: Beholde, we are wasted away and perished, we all come to naught. Num 17:13 Whosoeuer cometh nye, or approcheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, shall dye: Shall we vtterly consume away, and dye?
