8. Then the next day, Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed and put forth a flower and produced blossoms, and it produced almonds.
9. Then Moses brought out to all the Israelites all the staffs before the presence of Yahweh, and they saw, and each man took his staff.
10. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring back the staff of Aaron before the testimony as a guard and sign for the children of rebellion, and let them finish their grumblings before me and not die.”
11. So Moses did; just as Yahweh commanded him, so he did.
12. And the Israelites said to Moses, saying, “Look! We will die! We will be destroyed! All of us will perish!
13. Anyone who approaches the tabernacle of Yahweh will die. Will we all die?”
