Numbers 17:8-10

8Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, 1Aaron’s staff for the house of Levi had sprouted and produced buds and bloomed with blossoms, and it yielded ripe almonds.

9Moses then brought out all the staffs from the presence of the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his staff.

10But the Lord said to Moses, “Put the staff of Aaron 2back in front of the testimony 3to be kept as a sign against the 45rebels, so that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me and they do not die.”
