Numbers 17:9-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. Moses then brought out all the staffs from the Lord’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff.

10. The Lord told Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the testimony to be kept as a sign for the rebels, so that you may put an end to their complaints before Me, or else they will die.”

11. So Moses did as the Lord commanded him.

12. Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we’re perishing! We’re lost; we’re all lost!

13. Anyone who comes near the Lord’s tabernacle will die. Will we all perish? ”
