BRAGADAYJAH 444
Aaron’s Rod Budded
And after those things, God
commanded Moses to speak to the children of Israel and instruct them that every
one of their princes according to the house of their father should take a rod,
twelve rods altogether, and write on each rod the name of the tribe to which he
belonged. And Aaron’s name was to be
written on the rod of Levi.
Moses was instructed that the
twelve rods were to be laid up in the tabernacle of the testimony, where the Lord
was to meet with him. Then the Lord,
told Moses, further of the twelve rods, the man’s rod whom He shall choose
shall blossom and He shall make to cease the murmurings of the children of
Israel whereby they murmur against him.
Accordingly Moses collected
the twelve rod, including that of Aaron’s and laid them in the tabernacle of
the witness before the Lord. And the
next day when Moses went into the tabernacle of the witness, he found that
Aaron's rod had brought forth buds and produced blossoms and bore
almonds.
Then Moses took all the rods
out to the congregation and each man took his own rod according
to his house but Aaron’s rod was instructed to be kept within the tabernacle of
the witness as a sign against the murmuring rebels and a reminder that they
should never again go near the tabernacle of the Lord lest they die.
