Numbers 17:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ The staff of the man whom I will choose will sprout. I will rid myself of the Israelites’ constant grumbling against you.”

⁶ So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each one of their tribal chiefs gave him a staff, one staff for each tribal chief according to their fathers’ houses, twelve staffs in all. Aaron’s staff was among their staffs. ⁷ Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the Tent of the Testimony.
