民數記

第17章

1 耶和華諭摩西曰、

2 告以色列族云、爾各支派牧伯、取杖十有二、書名其上、支派各一、

3 惟利未族之杖書亞倫名立於支派各杖中。

4 當置其杖於會幕法匱前、我蒞臨之所、

5 我所簡者其杖必萌芽、使以色列族怨爾之言得以止息。

6 摩西以此言普告以色列族支派牧伯、各攜其杖、計十有二、又有亞倫之杖在其中。

7 摩西置諸會幕、耶和華法匱前。

8 詰旦摩西入焉、見亞倫之杖、屬利未族者、芽蘖已萌、花蕊盡發、結爲杏仁。

9 摩西取杖於耶和華前、授以色列族、使之觀瞻、任人各取其杖、

10 耶和華諭摩西曰、攜亞倫杖至法匱前、存之為誌、使此橫逆之輩、無所怨尤、免其殞沒。

11 摩西遵耶和華命而行。

12 以色列族謂摩西曰、我儕淪胥以亡、

13 耶和華之會幕、近之必死、豈非淪亡莫救乎。

Chapter 17

1 AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take from every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, from all their princes according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods; write each man's name upon his rod.

3 And you shall write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi; for one rod shall be for the head of the tribe of their fathers.

4 And you shall put them in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

5 And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man with whom I am pleased shall bud; thus I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was in the midst of their rods.

7 And Moses placed the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of the testimony.

8 And on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and blossomed, and yielded ripe almonds.

9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and took every man his rod.

10 And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod back before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the rebellious children; so that their murmurings may cease from me, that they die not.

11 And Moses did so; as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

12 And the children of Israel said to Moses, Behold, we perish and are lost, we all perish.

13 Whosoever comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD shall die; and, behold, we also are near to perish.
