³ on the ·stick [staff] from Levi, write Aaron’s name. There must be one ·stick [staff] for the head of each ·tribe [family; ^Lhouse of their fathers]. ⁴ Put them in the Meeting Tent in front of the ·Ark of the Agreement [Treaty; Covenant; ^LTestimony; Ex. 25:10], where I meet with you. ⁵ I will choose one man whose ·walking stick [staff] will begin to grow leaves [^Cindicating God’s affirmation]; in this way I will stop the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] from always ·complaining [grumbling] against you.”
