Numbers 17
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod by their kindreds, of all the princes of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of every man upon his rod.
3 And the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod shall contain all their families:
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to thee.
5 Whomsoever of these I shall choose, his rod shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, wherewith they murmur against you.
6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and all the princes gave him rods one for every tribe: and there were twelve rods besides the rod of Aaron.
7 And when Moses had laid them up before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony:
8 He returned on the following day, and found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, was budded: and that the buds swelling it had bloomed blossoms, which spreading the leaves, were formed into almonds.
9 Moses therefore brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel: and they saw, and every one received their rods.
10 And the Lord said to Moses: Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be kept there for a token of the rebellious children of Israel, and that their complaints may cease from me lest they die.
11 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded.
12 And the children of Israel said to Moses: Behold we are consumed, we all perish.
13 Whosoever approacheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, he dieth. Are we all to a man to be utterly destroyed?
Numbers 17
King James Version
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, 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.
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.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
5 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 Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, 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 Aaron was among their rods.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron'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.
11 And Moses did so: as the Lord commanded him, so did he.
12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

Aaron’s Staff Chosen
17 The Lord instructed Moses, 2 ‘Speak to the Israelites and take one staff from them for each ancestral tribe,[a] twelve staffs from all the leaders of their tribes.[b] Write each man’s name on his staff. 3 Write Aaron’s name on Levi’s staff, because there is to be one staff for the head of each tribe. 4 Then place them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony where I meet with you. 5 The staff of the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid myself of the Israelites’ complaints that they have been making about you.’
6 So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff, one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. Aaron’s staff was among them.(A) 7 Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the tent of the testimony.
8 The next day Moses entered the tent of the testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, formed buds, blossomed, and produced almonds! 9 Moses then brought out all the staffs from the Lord’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff. 10 The Lord told Moses, ‘Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the testimony to be kept as a sign(B) for the rebels, so that you may put an end to their complaints before me, or else they will die.’(C) 11 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him.
12 Then the Israelites declared to Moses, ‘Look, we’re perishing! We’re lost; we’re all lost! 13 Anyone who comes near the Lord’s tabernacle will die.(D) Will we all perish? ’

Aronov štap
17 BOG je rekao Mojsiju: 2 »Razgovaraj s Izraelcima. Neka ti daju dvanaest štapova, po jedan od glavara svakoga plemena. Ime svakoga glavara napiši na njegovom štapu. 3 Na Levijevom štapu napiši Aronovo ime. Treba biti po jedan štap za vođu svakoga plemena. 4 Zatim stavi štapove u Šator sastanka ispred Kovčega saveza, ondje gdje se sastajem s tobom. 5 Štap čovjeka kojeg ja izaberem, proklijat će. Tako ću ušutkati ovo neprekidno gunđanje Izraelaca protiv vas.«
6 Mojsije je to prenio Izraelcima pa su mu glavari dali štapove. Bilo je dvanaest štapova—po jedan za glavara svakoga plemena, a među njima je bio i Aronov štap. 7 Mojsije je stavio štapove pred BOGA u Šator saveza.
8 Kad je sutradan Mojsije ušao u Šator saveza, a ono—Aronov štap, od Levijevog plemena, ne samo da je proklijao nego i propupao, procvjetao i rodio zrele bademe! 9 Tada je Mojsije pred sve Izraelce donio sve štapove koji su bili pred BOGOM, a oni su ih pregledali te je svatko uzeo svoj.
10 BOG je rekao Mojsiju: »Vrati Aronov štap pred Kovčeg saveza[a], da se čuva kao znak upozorenja buntovnicima. Tako ćeš stati na kraj njihovom gunđanju protiv mene pa neće poginuti.« 11 I Mojsije učini baš kao što mu je zapovjedio BOG.
12 Izraelci su rekli Mojsiju: »Poginut ćemo! Propast ćemo! Svi ćemo pomrijeti! 13 Tko se samo primakne BOŽJEM Svetom šatoru, poginut će. Zar ćemo svi pomrijeti?«
