Numbers 17
World English Bible
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods from them, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each man’s name on his rod. 3 You shall write Aaron’s name on Levi’s rod. There shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses. 4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the covenant, where I meet with you. 5 It shall happen that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. I will make the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you, cease from me.”
6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, a total of twelve rods. Aaron’s rod was among their rods. 7 Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the Tent of the Testimony.
8 On the next day, Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony; and behold, Aaron’s rod for the house of Levi had sprouted, budded, produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds. 9 Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all the children of Israel. They looked, and each man took his rod.
10 Yahweh said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the covenant, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their complaining against me, that they not die.” 11 Moses did so. As Yahweh commanded him, so he did.
12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we perish! We are undone! We are all undone! 13 Everyone who keeps approaching Yahweh’s tabernacle, dies! Will we all perish?”

La vara de Aarón
17 El Señor habló con Moisés, y le dijo:
2 «Habla con los hijos de Israel, y pídeles que cada uno de sus jefes tribales te traiga una vara, es decir, una vara por cada cabeza de tribu, conforme a las familias de sus antepasados, o sea, doce varas. En cada vara escribirás el nombre de cada uno de ellos, 3 y en la vara de Leví escribirás el nombre de Aarón, pues cada jefe de familia de sus antepasados debe tener una vara. 4 Pondrás las varas en el tabernáculo de reunión, delante del testimonio, que es donde yo me manifestaré a ustedes. 5 La vara de aquel a quien yo escoja florecerá; y así pondré fin a las quejas y murmuraciones de los hijos de Israel contra ustedes.»
6 Moisés habló con los hijos de Israel, y todos sus jefes le dieron varas; cada príncipe le dio una vara por las familias de sus antepasados, en total doce varas; y entre las varas de ellos estaba la vara de Aarón.
7 Moisés puso las varas en el tabernáculo del testimonio, delante del Señor, 8 y sucedió que al día siguiente, cuando Moisés volvió al tabernáculo del testimonio, la vara de Aarón, de la familia de Leví, había retoñado y florecido, y tenía renuevos y había producido almendras. 9 Moisés quitó entonces de la presencia del Señor todas las varas, y se las llevó a todos los hijos de Israel para que las vieran y para que cada uno tomara la suya. 10 Pero el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
«Vuelve a poner la vara de Aarón delante del testimonio.(A) Ordena que se guarde, como señal a los hijos rebeldes. Así pondrás fin a sus quejas ante mí, para que no mueran.»
11 Y Moisés hizo lo que el Señor le mandó hacer. 12 Después los hijos de Israel hablaron con Moisés y le dijeron:
«¡Estamos perdidos! ¡Estamos perdidos! ¡Ya podemos darnos por muertos! 13 Sin duda, cualquiera que se acerque al tabernáculo del Señor morirá. ¿Acaso todos vamos a morir?»
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?
