Numbers 17:1-4

1The Lord spoke to Moses:

2“Speak to the Israelites, and receive from them a staff from each tribe, one from every tribal leader, twelve staffs; you must write each man’s name on his staff.

3You must write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi; for one staff is for the head of every tribe.

4You must place them in the tent of meeting before the ark of the covenant where I meet with you.
