Numbers 17:1-4

1The Lord instructed Moses,

2“Speak to the Israelites and take one staff from them for each ancestral tribe, twelve staffs from all the leaders of their tribes. Write each man’s name on his staff.

3Write Aaron’s name on Levi’s staff, because there is to be one staff for the head of each tribe.

4Then place them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony where I meet with you.
