9. Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel, and they looked, and each man took his rod.
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.”
11. Moses did so. As the Lord commanded him, so he did.
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?”
