[1] 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?”

Aaron’s Rod
[1] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and take H3947 (QalImpv) of every one of them a rod H4294 according to the house H1004 of their fathers, H1 of all their princes H5387 according to the house H1004 of their fathers H1 twelve H8147 rods: H4294 write H3789 (QalImpf) thou every man’s H376 name H8034 upon his rod. H4294 [3] And thou shalt write H3789 (QalImpf) Aaron’s H175 name H8034 upon the rod H4294 of Levi: H3878 for one H259 rod H4294 shall be for the head H7218 of the house H1004 of their fathers. H1 [4] And thou shalt lay them up H3240 (HiphPerf) in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 before H6440 the testimony, H5715 where I will meet H3259 (NiphImpf) with you. [5] And it shall come to pass, that the man’s H376 rod, H4294 whom I shall choose, H977 (QalImpf) shall blossom: H6524 (QalImpf) and I will make to cease H7918 (HiphPerf) from me the murmurings H8519 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 whereby they murmur H3885 (HiphPtc) against you. [6] And Moses H4872 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and every one of their princes H5387 gave H5414 (QalImpf) him a rod H4294 apiece, for each prince H5387 one, H259 according to their fathers’ H1 houses, H1004 even twelve H6240 rods: H4294 and the rod H4294 of Aaron H175 was among H8432 their rods. H4294 [7] And Moses H4872 laid up H3240 (HiphImpf) the rods H4294 before H6440 the Lord H3068 in the tabernacle H168 of witness. H5715 [8] And it came to pass, that on the morrow H4283 Moses H4872 went H935 (QalImpf) into the tabernacle H168 of witness; H5715 and, behold, the rod H4294 of Aaron H175 for the house H1004 of Levi H3878 was budded, H6524 (QalPerf) and brought forth H3318 (HiphImpf) buds, H6525 and bloomed H6692 (HiphImpf) blossoms, H6731 and yielded H1580 (QalImpf) almonds. H8247 [9] And Moses H4872 brought out H3318 (HiphImpf) all the rods H4294 from before H6440 the Lord H3068 unto all the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 and they looked, H7200 (QalImpf) and took H3947 (QalImpf) every man H376 his rod. H4294 [10] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 Bring H7725 Aaron’s H175 rod H4294 again H7725 (HiphImpv) before H6440 the testimony, H5715 to be kept H4931 for a token H226 against the rebels; H4805§ and thou shalt quite take away H3615 (PielImpf) their murmurings H8519 from me, that they die H4191 (QalImpf) not. [11] And Moses H4872 did H6213 (QalImpf) so: as the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) him, so did H6213 (QalPerf) he. [12] And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 spake H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf) Behold, we die, H1478 (QalPerf) we perish, H6 (QalPerf) we all perish. H6 (QalPerf) [13] Whosoever cometh any thing near H7131 unto the tabernacle H4908 of the Lord H3068 shall die: H4191 (QalImpf) shall we be consumed H8552 (QalPerf) with dying? H1478 (QalInf)Footnotes
