Numbers 17:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ The next day, when Moses entered the Tent of the ·Agreement [Testimony; Treaty; Covenant], he saw that Aaron’s ·stick [staff] (which stood for the family of Levi) had grown leaves. It had even budded, blossomed, and produced almonds. ⁹ So Moses brought out to the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] all the ·walking sticks [staffs] from the Lord’s presence. They all looked, and each man took back his ·stick [staff].

¹⁰ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s ·walking stick [staff] back in front of the ·Ark of the Agreement [Treaty; Covenant; ^LTestimony; Ex. 25:10]. It will ·remind [^Lserve as a sign to] these people who are always turning against me to stop their ·complaining [grumbling] against me so they won’t die.”
