² “Speak unto the children of Israel, and take from every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, from all their princes according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods. Write thou every man’s name upon his rod.

³ And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi, for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
