Numbers 17	Numbers 17
Numbers 17:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,	Numbers 17:1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Numbers 17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.	Numbers 17:2 Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.
Numbers 17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.	Numbers 17:3 And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.
Numbers 17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.	Numbers 17:4 And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.
Numbers 17:5 And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.	Numbers 17:5 And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.
Numbers 17:6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.	Numbers 17:6 So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.
Numbers 17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.	Numbers 17:7 And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.
Numbers 17:8 And 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.	Numbers 17:8 Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.
Numbers 17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.	Numbers 17:9 Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.
Numbers 17:10 And 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.	Numbers 17:10 And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.
Numbers 17:11 Thus did Moses: as Jehovah commanded him, so did he.	Numbers 17:11 This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.
Numbers 17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.	Numbers 17:12 And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.
Numbers 17:13 Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah, dieth: shall we perish all of us?	Numbers 17:13 Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?
