8And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bare ripe almonds.
9And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
10And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that thou mayest make an end of their murmurings against me, that they die not.
11Thus did Moses: as Jehovah commanded him, so did he.
12And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
13Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah, dieth: shall we perish all of us?
