Numbers 17:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² “Speak to the Israelites. Get 12 walking sticks from them. Get one from the leader of each of Israel’s tribes. Write the name of each man on his walking stick. ³ Write Aaron’s name on Levi’s walking stick. There must be one stick for the head of each of Israel’s tribes. ⁴ Put the walking sticks in the tent of meeting. Place them in front of the ark where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. That is where I meet with you.
