Numbers 17:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ The next day, Moses went into the tent of meeting. The staff of Aaron of the tribe of Levi had blossomed and brought forth buds.^[a] It was blooming and producing almonds. ⁹ Moses brought all of the staffs from before the Lord out to the people of Israel. They looked at them, and each man took his staff.

¹⁰ The Lord said to Moses, “Bring Aaron’s staff before the Testimony to be kept as a warning to the rebels. This should end their grumblings against me, so that they may not have to die.”
