Numbers 17

1 Aaron's rod among all the rods of the tribes only flourisheth. 10 It is left for a monument against the rebels.

 17:1 ¶ And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 Moses, 4872 saying, 559 z8800

 17:2 Speak 1696 z8761 unto x413 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and take 3947 z8798 of x4480 x854 every one of them a rod 4294 according to the house 1004 of [their] fathers, 1 of x4480 x854 all x3605 their princes 5387 according to the house 1004 of their fathers 1 twelve 8147 6240 rods: 4294 write 3789 z8799 thou x853 every man's 376 name 8034 upon x5921 his rod. 4294

 17:3 And thou shalt write 3789 z8799 Aaron's 175 name 8034 upon x5921 the rod 4294 of Levi: 3878 for x3588 one 259 rod 4294 [shall be] for the head 7218 of the house 1004 of their fathers. 1

 17:4 And thou shalt lay them up y3240 z8689 x5117 in the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150 before 6440 the testimony, 5715 where x834 x8033 I will meet 3259 z8735 with you.

 17:5 And it shall come to pass, x1961 [that] the man's 376 rod, 4294 whom x834 I shall choose, 977 z8799 shall blossom: 6524 z8799 and I will make to cease 7918 z8689 from x4480 x5921 me x853 the murmurings 8519 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 whereby x834 they x1992 murmur 3885 z8688 against x5921 you.

 17:6 ¶ And Moses 4872 spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and every one x3605 of their princes 5387 gave 5414 z8799 x413 him a rod 4294 apiece, x5387 x259 x4294 for each prince 5387 one, 259 according to their fathers' 1 houses, 1004 [even] twelve 6240 8147 rods: 4294 and the rod 4294 of Aaron 175 [was] among 8432 their rods. 4294

 17:7 And Moses 4872 laid up y3240 z8686 x5117 x853 the rods 4294 before 6440 the LORD 3068 in the tabernacle 168 of witness. 5715

 17:8 And it came to pass, x1961 that on the morrow 4283 x4480 Moses 4872 went 935 z8799 into x413 the tabernacle 168 of witness; 5715 and, behold, x2009 the rod 4294 of Aaron 175 for the house 1004 of Levi 3878 was budded, 6524 z8804 and brought forth 3318 z8686 buds, 6525 and bloomed 6692 z8686 blossoms, 6731 and yielded 1580 z8799 almonds. 8247

 17:9 And Moses 4872 brought out 3318 z8686 x853 all x3605 the rods 4294 from before 6440 x4480 the LORD 3068 unto x413 all x3605 the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 and they looked, 7200 z8799 and took 3947 z8799 every man 376 his rod. 4294

 17:10 ¶ And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Moses, 4872 Bring 7725 z0 x853 Aaron's 175 rod 4294 again y7725 z8685 before 6440 the testimony, 5715 to be kept 4931 for a token 226 against the rebels; 4805 1121 and thou shalt quite take away 3615 z8762 their murmurings 8519 from x4480 x5921 me, that they die 4191 z8799 not. x3808

 17:11 And Moses 4872 did 6213 z8799 [so]: as x834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 z8765 him, so x3651 did 6213 z8804 he.

 17:12 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 spake 559 z8799 unto x413 Moses, 4872 saying, 559 z8800 Behold, x2005 we die, 1478 z8804 we perish, 6 z8804 we all x3605 perish. 6 z8804

 17:13 Whosoever x3605 cometh any thing near 7131 unto x413 the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068 shall die: 4191 z8799 shall we be consumed 8552 z8804 with dying? 1478 z8800
