Numbers 17
New Living Translation
The Budding of Aaron’s Staff
17 [a]Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the people of Israel to bring you twelve wooden staffs, one from each leader of Israel’s ancestral tribes, and inscribe each leader’s name on his staff. 3 Inscribe Aaron’s name on the staff of the tribe of Levi, for there must be one staff for the leader of each ancestral tribe. 4 Place these staffs in the Tabernacle in front of the Ark containing the tablets of the Covenant,[b] where I meet with you. 5 Buds will sprout on the staff belonging to the man I choose. Then I will finally put an end to the people’s murmuring and complaining against you.”
6 So Moses gave the instructions to the people of Israel, and each of the twelve tribal leaders, including Aaron, brought Moses a staff. 7 Moses placed the staffs in the Lord’s presence in the Tabernacle of the Covenant.[c] 8 When he went into the Tabernacle of the Covenant the next day, he found that Aaron’s staff, representing the tribe of Levi, had sprouted, budded, blossomed, and produced ripe almonds!
9 When Moses brought all the staffs out from the Lord’s presence, he showed them to the people. Each man claimed his own staff. 10 And the Lord said to Moses: “Place Aaron’s staff permanently before the Ark of the Covenant[d] to serve as a warning to rebels. This should put an end to their complaints against me and prevent any further deaths.” 11 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him.
12 Then the people of Israel said to Moses, “Look, we are doomed! We are dead! We are ruined! 13 Everyone who even comes close to the Tabernacle of the Lord dies. Are we all doomed to die?”

Библия, синодално издание
17 И рече Господ на Моисея, думайки:
2 кажи на синовете Израилеви и вземи от тях по жезъл от коляно, от всичките им началници според колената, дванайсет жезъла, и името на всекиго напиши върху жезъла му;
3 Аароновото име напиши на Левиевия жезъл, защото (те трябва да дадат) един жезъл от началника на своето коляно;
4 (A)и ги тури в скинията на събранието, пред ковчега на откровението, дето ви се явявам;
5 и когото Аз избера, неговият жезъл ще покара; и така ще умиря ропота на синовете Израилеви, който дигат против вас.
6 И рече Моисей на синовете Израилеви, и всичките им началници му дадоха, от всеки началник по жезъл, дванайсет жезъла, според колената си; и Аароновият жезъл беше между жезлите им.
7 Тогава Моисей тури жезлите пред лицето Господне в скинията на откровението.
8 (B)На другия ден влезе Моисей (и Аарон) в скинията на откровението, и ето, Аароновият жезъл, от Левиевия дом, бе покарал, напъпил, цъфнал и родил миндали.
9 И изнесе Моисей всички жезли от пред лицето Господне пред всички синове Израилеви; и те видяха това и взеха всеки жезъла си.
10 (C)И рече Господ на Моисея: тури пак Аароновия жезъл пред ковчега на откровението да се пази, като личба за непокорните, та ропотът им против Мене да престане, и те да не измрат.
11 Моисей направи това: както му заповяда Господ, така и направи.
12 И рекоха синовете Израилеви на Моисея: ето, ние мрем, гинем, всички загинваме!
13 (D)Всеки, който се приближи до скинията Господня, умира: дали не ще измрем всички?
Numbers 17
King James Version
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
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.
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.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
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.
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.
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.
11 And Moses did so: as the Lord commanded him, so did he.
12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
