¹⁴ Jehova der Heerscharen hat bei sich selbst geschworen: Habe ich dich auch mit Menschen gefüllt wie mit Heuschrecken, so wird man doch Triumphgeschrei (O. den Kriegsruf) über dich anstimmen!

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.
