민수기 17장 BSB
- 1 And the LORD said to Moses,
- 2 “Speak to the Israelites and take from them twelve staffs, one from the leader of each tribe. Write each man’s name on his staff,
- 3 and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi, because there must be one staff for the head of each tribe.
- 4 Place the staffs in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony, where I meet with you.
- 5 The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myself of the constant grumbling of the Israelites against you.”
- 6 So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff—one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. And Aaron’s staff was among them.
- 7 Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
- 8 The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.
- 9 Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff.
- 10 The LORD said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebellious, so that you may put an end to their grumbling against Me, lest they die.”
- 11 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.
- 12 Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we are perishing! We are lost; we are all lost!
- 13 Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”
