Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on

Show them the sticks you wrote on.

When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes,

“ When the sticks you have written on are in your hand and in full view of the people,

The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.

And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.

And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.

“ When the sticks you have written on are in your hand and in full view of the people,

And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

The sticks you write on will be in your hand in front of them.

The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’

So Moses gave the instructions to the people of Israel, and each of the twelve tribal leaders, including Aaron, brought Moses a staff.Moses placed the staffs in the Lord’s presence in the Tabernacle of the Covenant.When he went into the Tabernacle of the Covenant the next day, he found that Aaron’s staff, representing the tribe of Levi, had sprouted, budded, blossomed, and produced ripe almonds!When Moses brought all the staffs out from the Lord’s presence, he showed them to the people. Each man claimed his own staff.

I sent my prophets to warn you with many visions and parables.”
