17:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods of them, according to
the houses of their families, a rod from all their princes, according to the
houses of their families, twelve rods, and write the name of each on his
rod.
17:3 And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi; for it is one rod [for
each]: they shall give [them] according to the tribe of the house of their
families.
17:4 And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the
testimony, where I will be made known to thee.
17:5 And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall blossom;
and I will remove from me the murmuring of the children of Israel, which
they murmur against you.
17:6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave
him a rod [each], for one chief a rod, according to the house of their
families, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [was] in the midst of the rods.
17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of
witness.
17:8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses and Aaron went into the
tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi
blossomed, and put forth a bud, and bloomed blossoms and produced almonds.
17:9 And Moses brought forth all the rods from before the Lord to all the
sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took his rod.
17:10 And the Lord said to Moses, Lay up the rod of Aaron before the
testimonies to be kept as a sign for the children of the disobedient; and
let their murmuring cease from me, and they shall not die.
17:11 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
17:12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut
off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
17:13 Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die
utterly? |
17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 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.
17:3 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.
17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before
the testimony, where I will meet with you.
17:5 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.
17:6 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.
17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of
witness.
17:8 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.
17:9 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.
17:10 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.
17:11 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die,
we perish, we all perish.
17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall
die: shall we be consumed with dying? |
