Each of the twelve leaders gave him a ·walking stick [staff]—one from each ·tribe [family; ^Lhouse of their fathers]—and Aaron’s ·walking stick [staff] was among them. ⁷ Moses put them before the Lord in the Tent of the ·Agreement [Testimony; Treaty; Covenant].

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.
