Numbers 17:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ The walking stick that belongs to the man I choose will begin to grow new shoots. The Israelites are never happy with what you do. I will put an end to what they are saying.”

⁶ So Moses spoke to the Israelites. Their leaders gave him 12 walking sticks. They gave one for the leader of each of Israel’s tribes. Aaron’s walking stick was among them. ⁷ Moses put the sticks in front of the Lord in the tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept.
