Numbers 17:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ And the rod of the man whom I choose shall sprout; thus I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the people of Israel, which they murmur against you.” ⁶ Moses spoke to the people of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. ⁷ And Moses deposited the rods before the Lord in the tent of the testimony.
