Numbers 17:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ Put them in the Meeting Tent in front of the Ark of the Agreement, where I meet with you. ⁵ I will choose one man whose walking stick will begin to grow leaves; in this way I will stop the Israelites from always complaining against you.”

⁶ So Moses spoke to the Israelites. Each of the twelve leaders gave him a walking stick—one from each tribe—and Aaron’s walking stick was among them.
