13 while standing there between the living and the dead. And so the scourge was checked.
14 There were fourteen thousand seven hundred dead from the scourge, in addition to those who died because of Korah.
15 When the scourge had been checked, Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
16 The Lord now said to Moses:
17 Speak to the Israelites and get from them a staff for each ancestral house, twelve staffs in all, from all the leaders of their ancestral houses. Write each man’s name on his staff;
18 and write Aaron’s name on Levi’s staff. For each head of an ancestral house shall have a staff.
19 Then deposit them in the tent of meeting, in front of the covenant, where I meet you.
