Versículos de Números 17 da Bíblia. Basic English Bible
1And the Lord said to Moses,
2Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.
3And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.
4And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.
5And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.
6So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.
7And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.
8Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.
9Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.
10And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.
11This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.
12And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.
13Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?
