Numbers 17:4-8 and thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the testimony. By these I will there make myself known to thee;

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ and thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the testimony. By these I will there make myself known to thee; ⁵ and it shall come to pass, that the staff of the man whom I will chuse, shall bloom: and I will remove from me this murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. ⁶ So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all the chiefs gave him, every one a staff; for every chief a staff, according to the houses of their patriarchal families, twelve staves, with Aaron's staff among theirs. ⁷ And Moses laid the staves before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. ⁸ And on the next day when Moses went in, with Aaron, into the tabernacle of the testimony, behold Aaron's staff, for the house of Levi, had bloomed, and brought forth a bud, and had shot forth blossoms, and produced almonds.
