1O SENHOR disse a Moisés:2“Peça aos israelitas que tragam doze varas, uma de cada líder das tribos. Escreva o nome de cada líder em sua vara.3Na vara de Levi escreva o nome de Arão, pois é preciso que haja uma vara para cada chefe das tribos.4Deposite-as na Tenda do Encontro, em frente da arca das tábuas da aliança, onde eu me encontro com vocês.5A vara daquele que eu escolher florescerá, e eu me livrarei dessa constante queixa dos israelitas contra vocês”.6Assim Moisés falou aos israelitas, e seus líderes deram-lhe doze varas, uma de cada líder das tribos, e a vara de Arão estava entre elas.7Moisés depositou as varas perante o SENHOR na tenda que guarda as tábuas da aliança.8No dia seguinte Moisés entrou na tenda e viu que a vara de Arão, que representava a tribo de Levi, tinha brotado, produzindo botões e flores, além de amêndoas maduras.9Então Moisés retirou todas as varas da presença do SENHOR e as levou a todos os israelitas. Eles viram as varas, e cada líder pegou a sua.10O SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Ponha de volta a vara de Arão em frente da arca das tábuas da aliança, para ser guardada como uma advertência para os rebeldes. Isso porá fim à queixa deles contra mim, para que não morram”.11Moisés fez conforme o SENHOR lhe havia ordenado.12Os israelitas disseram a Moisés: “Nós morreremos! Estamos perdidos, estamos todos perdidos!13Todo aquele que se aproximar do santuário do SENHOR morrerá. Será que todos nós vamos morrer?”

Aaron’s Staff Buds
1* The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,2“Speak to the people of Israel, and get from them staffs, one for each fathers’ house, from all their chiefs according to their fathers’ houses, twelve staffs. Write each man’s name on his staff,3and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi. For there shall be one staff for the head of each fathers’ house.4Then you shall deposit them in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.5And the staff of the man whom I choose shall sprout. Thus I will make to cease from me the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against you.”6Moses spoke to the people of Israel. And all their chiefs gave him staffs, one for each chief, according to their fathers’ houses, twelve staffs. And the staff of Aaron was among their staffs.7And Moses deposited the staffs before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.8On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.9Then Moses brought out all the staffs from before the LORD to all the people of Israel. And they looked, and each man took his staff.10And the LORD said to Moses, “Put back the staff of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their grumblings against me, lest they die.”11Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so he did.12And the people of Israel said to Moses, “Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.13Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, shall die. Are we all to perish?”
