17:6 So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff, one for each leader, 1 according to their tribes 2 – twelve staffs; the staff of Aaron was among their staffs. 17:7 Then Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the tent of the testimony. 3
17:8 On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony – and 4 the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted, and brought forth buds, and produced blossoms, and yielded almonds! 5 17:9 So Moses brought out all the staffs from before the Lord to all the Israelites. They looked at them, 6 and each man took his staff.
