7. And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
8. And it came to pass, that the next day Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was sprouted, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
9. And 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.
10. And the LORD said unto Moses,
11. And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
12. And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13. Whosoever comes anywhere near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
