Bamidbar 17

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spake unto Mushah, saying,

"Speak unto the children of Yashar'al, 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."

"And thou shalt write Aharon's name upon the rod of Lawiy: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers."

"And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you."

"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 Yashar'al, whereby they murmur against you."

And Mushah spake unto the children of Yashar'al, 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 Aharon was among their rods.

And Mushah laid up the rods before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in the tabernacle of witness.

And it came to pass, that on the morrow Mushah went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aharon for the house of Lawiy was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

And Mushah brought out all the rods from before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 unto all the children of Yashar'al: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said unto Mushah, "Bring Aharon'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."

And Mushah did so: as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded him, so did he.

And the children of Yashar'al spake unto Mushah, saying, "Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish."

"Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?"
