10. The Lord said to Moses, “Return the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a warning to rebels, that you may put an end to their complaints before Me, or else they will die.”

12. The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we expire, we perish, we all perish.
13. Anyone approaching the tabernacle of the Lord will die. Are we all to perish?”
