La vara de Aarón florece
17 [a]Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: 2 «Habla a los israelitas y toma de ellos una vara por cada una de las casas paternas: doce varas de todos los jefes conforme a sus casas paternas. Y escribirás el nombre de cada uno en su vara, 3 y escribirás el nombre de Aarón en la vara de Leví; porque hay una vara para cada jefe de sus casas paternas. 4 Las pondrás en la tienda de reunión delante del testimonio donde me encuentro contigo(A). 5 Y acontecerá que la vara del hombre que Yo escoja(B), retoñará. Así disminuiré de sobre Mí las quejas de los israelitas que murmuran contra ustedes».
6 Moisés habló a los israelitas, y todos los jefes de ellos le dieron varas, una por cada jefe según sus casas paternas; doce varas, con la vara de Aarón entre sus varas. 7 Y Moisés colocó las varas en la tienda del testimonio delante del Señor(C).
8 Al siguiente día, Moisés entró en la tienda del testimonio, y vio que la vara de Aarón de la casa de Leví había retoñado y echado botones, y había producido flores, y almendras maduras(D). 9 Moisés entonces sacó todas las varas de la presencia del Señor y las llevó a los israelitas; y ellos las miraron y cada uno tomó su vara. 10 Pero el Señor dijo a Moisés: «Vuelve a poner la vara de Aarón delante del testimonio(E) para guardarla por señal a los rebeldes(F), para que hagas cesar sus murmuraciones contra Mí, y no mueran». 11 Así lo hizo Moisés; como el Señor le había ordenado, así lo hizo.
12 Entonces los israelitas dijeron a Moisés: «Vamos a morir; estamos perdidos; todos nosotros estamos perdidos(G). 13 Cualquiera que se acerca al tabernáculo del Señor, muere(H). ¿Hemos de perecer todos?».

Numbers 17
King James Version
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
11 And Moses did so: as the Lord commanded him, so did he.
12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

Aaron's Staff Buds
17 [a] The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 (A)“Speak to the people of Israel, and get from them staffs, one for each fathers' house, from all their chiefs according to their fathers' houses, twelve staffs. Write each man's name on his staff, 3 and write Aaron's name on the staff of Levi. For there shall be one staff for the head of each fathers' house. 4 Then you shall deposit them in the tent of meeting before the testimony, (B)where I meet with you. 5 And the staff of the man (C)whom I choose shall sprout. Thus I will make to cease from me (D)the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against you.” 6 Moses spoke to the people of Israel. And all their chiefs gave him staffs, one for each chief, according to their fathers' houses, twelve staffs. And the staff of Aaron was among their staffs. 7 And Moses deposited the staffs before the Lord in (E)the tent of the testimony.
8 On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out all the staffs from before the Lord to all the people of Israel. And they looked, and each man took his staff. 10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Put back (F)the staff of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept (G)as a sign for the rebels, (H)that you may make an end of their grumblings against me, lest they die.” 11 Thus did Moses; as the Lord commanded him, so he did.
12 And the people of Israel said to Moses, “Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. 13 (I)Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the Lord, shall die. Are we all to perish?”
