1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the Israelites, and take from among them twelve staffs, a staff from each family from among all their leaders according to their families’ households. Write the name of each man on his staff,
3 and the name of Aaron on the staff of Levi, because one staff is for the head of each of their families.
4 You must then put them in the tent of assembly before the testimony where I meet with you.
5 And it will happen, the man whom I will choose, his staff will blossom, and so I will rid from upon myself the grumblings of the Israelites, who are grumbling against you.”
