Numbers 17:3-5

Living Bible

17 ^1-3 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the people of Israel that each of their tribal chiefs is to bring you a wooden rod with his name inscribed upon it. Aaron’s name is to be on the rod of the tribe of Levi. ⁴ Put these rods in the inner room of the Tabernacle where I meet with you, in front of the Ark. ⁵ I will use these rods to identify the man I have chosen: for buds will grow on his rod! Then at last this murmuring and complaining against you will stop!”
