Numbers 17:10-13

Living Bible

¹⁰ The Lord told Moses to place Aaron’s rod permanently beside the Ark as a reminder of this rebellion. He was to bring it out and show it to the people again^[a] if there were any further complaints about Aaron’s authority; this would ward off further catastrophe to the people. ¹¹ So Moses did as the Lord commanded him.

^12-13 But the people of Israel only grumbled the more. “We are as good as dead,” they whined. “Everyone who even comes close to the Tabernacle dies. Must we all perish?”
