Numbers 17:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹ Then Moses brought out all the staffs from before the Lord to all the Israelites; and they looked, and each man took his staff. ¹⁰ And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Put back the staff of Aaron before the covenant,^[a] to be kept as a warning to rebels, so that you may make an end of their complaints against me, or else they will die.’ ¹¹ Moses did so; just as the Lord commanded him, so he did.
