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?”

아론의 싹난 지팡이
17 여호와께서 모세에게 말씀하셨다.
2 “너는 이스라엘 백성에게 각 지파 지도자들의 지팡이를 가져오게 하여 그 지팡이에 각 지도자의 이름을 쓰고
3 레위 지파의 지팡이에는 아론의 이름을 써라. 각 지파마다 그 지도자의 지팡이가 하나씩 있어야 한다.
4 너는 내가 너를 만나는 성막 안의 법궤 앞에 그 지팡이를 두어라.
5 내가 택한 자의 지팡이에 싹이 날 것이다. 내가 이렇게 해서 이스라엘 백성이 너희에게 원망하는 소리를 그치게 하겠다.”
6 그래서 모세가 이스라엘 사람들에게 말하자 각 지파의 지도자들이 각자 하나씩 모두 12개의 지팡이를 가져왔는데 그 중에는 아론의 지팡이도 있었다.
7 모세는 그 모든 지팡이를 성막 안에 있는 여호와의 법궤 앞에 두었다.
8 다음날 모세가 성막 안으로 들어가 보니 레위 지파를 대표하는 아론의 지팡이에 움이 돋고 순이 나고 꽃이 피어서 익은 살구들이 달려 있었다.
9 모세가 그 지팡이를 모두 가지고 나와 모든 이스라엘 백성에게 보이자 그들이 다 의심쩍은 눈으로 바라보았다. 그리고 각 지파 지도자들은 각자 자기 지팡이를 가져갔다.
10 그때 여호와께서 모세에게 말씀하셨다. “너는 아론의 지팡이를 법궤 앞으로 다시 가지고 가서 거기 보관하여 반역하는 자들에게 경고가 되게 하고 그들이 나를 원망하다가 죽는 일이 다시는 없게 하라.”
11 그래서 모세는 여호와께서 명령하신 대로 하였다.
12 그러나 이스라엘 백성들은 한탄하며 모세에게 이렇게 말하였다. “우리가 죽게 되었습니다. 이제 우리는 다 망하게 되었습니다.
13 여호와의 성막에 가까이 가는 자마다 다 죽게 되었으니 우리가 이렇게 전멸되어야 하겠습니까?”

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?
