9. Therefore, Moses brought out all the rods, from the sight of the Lord, to all the sons of Israel. And they saw, and each one received their rods.
10. And the Lord said to Moses: "Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be kept there as a sign of the rebellion of the sons of Israel, and so that their complaints may be quieted before me, lest they die."
11. And Moses did just as the Lord had instructed.
12. Then the sons of Israel said to Moses: "Behold, we have been consumed; we have been ruined.
13. Whoever approaches to the tabernacle of the Lord dies. Will we all be wiped away, even to total annihilation?"
