1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1耶和華對 摩西 說：
2Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod by their kindreds, of all the princes of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of every man upon his rod.
2「你曉諭 以色列 人，從他們手下取杖，每支派一根；從他們所有的首領，按着支派，共取十二根。你要將各人的名字寫在各人的杖上，
3And the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod shall contain all their families:
3並要將 亞倫 的名字寫在 利未 的杖上，因為各族長必有一根杖。
4And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to thee.
4你要把這些杖存在會幕內法 櫃 前，就是我與你們相會之處。
5Whomsoever of these I shall choose, his rod shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, wherewith they murmur against you.
5後來我所揀選的那人，他的杖必發芽。這樣，我必使 以色列 人向你們所發的怨言止息，不再達到我耳中。」
6And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and all the princes gave him rods one for every tribe: and there were twelve rods besides the rod of Aaron.
6於是 摩西 曉諭 以色列 人，他們的首領就把杖交給他，按着支派，每首領一根，共有十二根； 亞倫 的杖也在其中。
7And when Moses had laid them up before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony:
7摩西 就把杖存在法 櫃 的帳幕內，在耶和華面前。
8He returned on the following day, and found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, was budded: and that the buds swelling it had bloomed blossoms, which spreading the leaves, were formed into almonds.
8第二天， 摩西 進法 櫃 的帳幕去。誰知 利未 族 亞倫 的杖已經發了芽，生了花苞，開了花，結了熟杏。
9Moses therefore brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel: and they saw, and every one received their rods.
9摩西 就把所有的杖從耶和華面前拿出來，給 以色列 眾人看；他們看見了，各首領就把自己的杖拿去。
10And the Lord said to Moses: Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be kept there for a token of the rebellious children of Israel, and that their complaints may cease from me lest they die.
10耶和華吩咐 摩西 說：「把 亞倫 的杖還放在法 櫃 前，給這些背叛之子留作記號。這樣，你就使他們向我發的怨言止息，免得他們死亡。」
11And Moses did as the Lord had commanded.
11摩西 就這樣行。耶和華怎樣吩咐他，他就怎樣行了。
12And the children of Israel said to Moses: Behold we are consumed, we all perish.
12以色列 人對 摩西 說：「我們死啦！我們滅亡啦！都滅亡啦！
13Whosoever approacheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, he dieth. Are we all to a man to be utterly destroyed?
13凡挨近耶和華帳幕的是必死的。我們都要死亡嗎？」
