1Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
1And the LORD said to Moses,
2Loquere ad filios Israël, et accipe ab eis virgas singulas per cognationes suas, a cunctis principibus tribuum, virgas duodecim, et uniuscujusque nomen superscribes virgæ suæ.
2“Speak to the Israelites and take from them twelve staffs, one from the leader of each tribe. Write each man’s name on his staff,
3Nomen autem Aaron erit in tribu Levi, et una virga cunctas seorsum familias continebit:
3and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi, because there must be one staff for the head of each tribe.
4ponesque eas in tabernaculo fœderis coram testimonio, ubi loquar ad te.
4Place the staffs in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony, where I meet with you.
5Quem ex his elegero, germinabit virga ejus: et cohibebo a me querimonias filiorum Israël, quibus contra vos murmurant.
5The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myself of the constant grumbling of the Israelites against you.”
6Locutusque est Moyses ad filios Israël: et dederunt ei omnes principes virgas per singulas tribus: fueruntque virgæ duodecim absque virga Aaron.
6So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff—one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. And Aaron’s staff was among them.
7Quas cum posuisset Moyses coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii,
7Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
8sequenti die regressus invenit germinasse virgam Aaron in domo Levi: et turgentibus gemmis eruperant flores, qui, foliis dilatatis, in amygdalas deformati sunt.
8The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.
9Protulit ergo Moyses omnes virgas de conspectu Domini ad cunctos filios Israël: videruntque, et receperunt singuli virgas suas.
9Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff.
10Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Refer virgam Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii, ut servetur ibi in signum rebellium filiorum Israël, et quiescant querelæ eorum a me, ne moriantur.
10The LORD said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebellious, so that you may put an end to their grumbling against Me, lest they die.”
11Fecitque Moyses sicut præceperat Dominus.
11So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.
12Dixerunt autem filii Israël ad Moysen: Ecce consumpti sumus, omnes perivimus.
12Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we are perishing! We are lost; we are all lost!
13Quicumque accedit ad tabernaculum Domini, moritur. Num usque ad internecionem cuncti delendi sumus?
13Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”
