La vara de Aarón florece
17 [a]Entonces habló el Señor a Moisés, diciendo: 2 Habla a los hijos de Israel 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 Y 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 hijos de Israel que murmuran contra vosotros. 6 Habló, pues, Moisés a los hijos de Israel, 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 Y aconteció que el día siguiente, Moisés entró en la tienda del testimonio, y he aquí, 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[b] los hijos de Israel; 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[c](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 hijos de Israel hablaron a Moisés, diciendo: He aquí, perecemos, estamos perdidos; todos nosotros estamos perdidos(G). 13 Cualquiera que se acerca[d] 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?

The Budding of Aaron’s Staff
17 [a]The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and get twelve staffs(A) from them, one from the leader of each of their ancestral tribes.(B) Write the name of each man on his staff. 3 On the staff of Levi write Aaron’s name,(C) for there must be one staff for the head of each ancestral tribe. 4 Place them in the tent of meeting(D) in front of the ark of the covenant law,(E) where I meet with you.(F) 5 The staff belonging to the man I choose(G) will sprout,(H) and I will rid myself of this constant grumbling(I) against you by the Israelites.”
6 So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and their leaders gave him twelve staffs, one for the leader of each of their ancestral tribes, and Aaron’s staff was among them. 7 Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the tent of the covenant law.(J)
8 The next day Moses entered the tent(K) and saw that Aaron’s staff,(L) which represented the tribe of Levi, had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds.(M) 9 Then Moses brought out all the staffs(N) from the Lord’s presence to all the Israelites. They looked at them, and each of the leaders took his own staff.
10 The Lord said to Moses, “Put back Aaron’s staff(O) in front of the ark of the covenant law, to be kept as a sign to the rebellious.(P) This will put an end to their grumbling against me, so that they will not die.” 11 Moses did just as the Lord commanded him.
12 The Israelites said to Moses, “We will die! We are lost, we are all lost!(Q) 13 Anyone who even comes near the tabernacle of the Lord will die.(R) Are we all going to die?”
