Numbers 17:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.
