1And the Lord was like, "Yo, Moses, listen up."

2Tell the fam of Israel to grab a stick each, twelve in total, one for every squad leader, and write their names on them.

3For real, write Aaron’s name on Levi’s stick, since it’s the top dog of the fam.

4Keep them in the tabernacle where we vibe, 'cause that’s where I’ll meet ya.

5The stick of the chosen one is gonna blossom, and I’ll stop the drama from the Israelites who are always complaining.

6Moses told Israel, and each leader dropped off a stick, twelve total, with Aaron’s stick in the mix.

7Moses put the sticks in front of the Lord at the witness tabernacle.

8The next day, Moses checked the witness tabernacle, and Aaron’s stick was all budded and had blooms and almonds, like, wow.

9Moses brought out all the sticks for the Israelites to see, and everyone picked theirs up.

10The Lord told Moses, "Bring Aaron’s stick back to keep as a sign against the haters; I’ll put a stop to their whining."

11Moses was like, "Bet," and did exactly what the Lord said.

12The Israelites were like, "Yo, we’re gonna die, this is it!"

13Anyone who rolls up to the Lord’s tabernacle is gonna face the consequences; are we really about to go out like this?

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod.

3And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

4And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

5And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

6And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

7And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.

8And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

9And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

10And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

11And Moses did so: as the Lord commanded him, so did he.

12And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

13Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
