Numbers 17:2-6

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and obtain from them a staff for each father’s household: twelve staffs, from all their leaders for their fathers’ households. You shall write each man’s name on his staff,

and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi; for there is to be one staff for the head of each of their fathers’ households.

You shall then leave them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you.

And it will come about that the staff of the man whom I choose will sprout. So I will relieve Myself of the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you.”

So Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a staff, one for each leader, for their fathers’ households, twelve staffs in all, with the staff of Aaron among their staffs.
