Numbers 17:1-3

Modern English Version

The Budding of Aaron’s Rod

17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ² Speak to the children of Israel, and take from them a rod, a rod for the house of their fathers, from all their leaders according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods. Write each man’s name on his rod. ³ You will write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi, because one rod will be for each father’s house.
