2. “Speak to the people of Israel. Get 12 walking sticks from them. Get 1 from the leader of each tribe. Write the name of each man on his stick.
3. On the stick from Levi, write Aaron’s name. There must be 1 stick for the head of each tribe.
4. Put them in the Meeting Tent. Place them in front of the Ark of the Covenant, where I meet with you.
5. I will choose one man. His stick will begin to grow leaves. And I will stop the Israelites from always complaining against you.”
6. So Moses spoke to the Israelites. Each of the 12 leaders gave him a walking stick. And Aaron’s walking stick was among them.
