¹ καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν ἤδη ὄψει ἃ ποιήσω τῷ φαραω ἐν γὰρ χειρὶ κραταιᾷ ἐξαποστελεῖ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ ἐκβαλεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ

² ἐλάλησεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς πρὸς μωυσῆν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν ἐγὼ κύριος

³ καὶ ὤφθην πρὸς αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ καὶ ιακωβ θεὸς ὢν αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου κύριος οὐκ ἐδήλωσα αὐτοῖς

⁴ καὶ ἔστησα τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὥστε δοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν γῆν τῶν χαναναίων τὴν γῆν ἣν παρῳκήκασιν ἐν ᾗ καὶ παρῴκησαν ἐπ' αὐτῆς

⁵ καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσήκουσα τὸν στεναγμὸν τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ ὃν οἱ αἰγύπτιοι καταδουλοῦνται αὐτούς καὶ ἐμνήσθην τῆς διαθήκης ὑμῶν

⁶ βάδιζε εἰπὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ λέγων ἐγὼ κύριος καὶ ἐξάξω ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς δυναστείας τῶν αἰγυπτίων καὶ ῥύσομαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς δουλείας καὶ λυτρώσομαι ὑμᾶς ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ καὶ κρίσει μεγάλῃ

⁷ καὶ λήμψομαι ἐμαυτῷ ὑμᾶς λαὸν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῶν θεός καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς καταδυναστείας τῶν αἰγυπτίων

⁸ καὶ εἰσάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν εἰς ἣν ἐξέτεινα τὴν χεῖρά μου δοῦναι αὐτὴν τῷ αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ καὶ ιακωβ καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ ἐγὼ κύριος

⁹ ἐλάλησεν δὲ μωυσῆς οὕτως τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν μωυσῇ ἀπὸ τῆς ὀλιγοψυχίας καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων τῶν σκληρῶν

¹⁰ εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγων

¹¹ εἴσελθε λάλησον φαραω βασιλεῖ αἰγύπτου ἵνα ἐξαποστείλῃ τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ

¹² ἐλάλησεν δὲ μωυσῆς ἔναντι κυρίου λέγων ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ οὐκ εἰσήκουσάν μου καὶ πῶς εἰσακούσεταί μου φαραω ἐγὼ δὲ ἄλογός εἰμι

¹³ εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων καὶ συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς πρὸς φαραω βασιλέα αἰγύπτου ὥστε ἐξαποστεῖλαι τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ ἐκ γῆς αἰγύπτου

¹⁴ καὶ οὗτοι ἀρχηγοὶ οἴκων πατριῶν αὐτῶν υἱοὶ ρουβην πρωτοτόκου ισραηλ ενωχ καὶ φαλλους ασρων καὶ χαρμι αὕτη ἡ συγγένεια ρουβην

²⁶ οὗτος ααρων καὶ μωυσῆς οἷς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς ἐξαγαγεῖν τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ ἐκ γῆς αἰγύπτου σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν

²⁷ οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ διαλεγόμενοι πρὸς φαραω βασιλέα αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐξήγαγον τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ ἐξ αἰγύπτου αὐτὸς ααρων καὶ μωυσῆς

²⁸ ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐλάλησεν κύριος μωυσῇ ἐν γῇ αἰγύπτῳ

²⁹ καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγων ἐγὼ κύριος λάλησον πρὸς φαραω βασιλέα αἰγύπτου ὅσα ἐγὼ λέγω πρὸς σέ

³⁰ καὶ εἶπεν μωυσῆς ἐναντίον κυρίου ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἰσχνόφωνός εἰμι καὶ πῶς εἰσακούσεταί μου φαραω

² "Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write every man's name on his rod.

³ You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.

⁴ You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.

⁵ It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you."

⁶ Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

⁷ Moses laid up the rods before Yahweh in the tent of the testimony.

⁸ It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.

⁹ Moses brought out all the rods from before Yahweh to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

¹⁰ Yahweh said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die."
