| 1 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: | Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: |
| 2 | Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod by their kindreds, of all the princes of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of every man upon his rod. | Loquere ad filios Israël, et accipe ab eis virgas singulas per cognationes suas, a cunctis principibus tribuum, virgas duodecim, et uniuscuiusque nomen superscribes virgae suae. |
| 3 | And the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod shall contain all their families: | Nomen autem Aaron erit in tribu Levi, et una virga cunctas seorsum familias continebit: |
| 4 | And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to thee. | ponesque eas in tabernaculo foederis coram testimonio, ubi loquar ad te. |
| 5 | Whomsoever of these I shall choose, his rod shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, wherewith they murmur against you. | Quem ex his elegero, germinabit virga eius: et cohibebo a me querimonias filiorum Israël, quibus contra vos murmurant. |
| 6 | And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and all the princes gave him rods one for every tribe: and there were twelve rods besides the rod of Aaron. | Locutusque est Moyses ad filios Israël: et dederunt ei omnes principes virgas per singulas tribus: fueruntque virgae duodecim absque virga Aaron. |
| 7 | And when Moses had laid them up before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony: | Quas cum posuisset Moyses coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii, |
| 8 | He returned on the following day, and found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, was budded: and that the buds swelling it had bloomed blossoms, which spreading the leaves, were formed into almonds. | sequenti die regressus invenit germinasse virgam Aaron in domo Levi: et turgentibus gemmis eruperant flores, qui, foliis dilatatis, in amygdalas deformati sunt. |
| 9 | Moses therefore brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel: and they saw, and every one received their rods. | Protulit ergo Moyses omnes virgas de conspectu Domini ad cunctos filios Israël: videruntque, et receperunt singuli virgas suas. |
| 10 | And the Lord said to Moses: Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be kept there for a token of the rebellious children of Israel, and that their complaints may cease from me lest they die. | Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Refer virgam Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii, ut servetur ibi in signum rebellium filiorum Israël, et quiescant querelae eorum a me, ne moriantur. |
| 11 | And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. | Fecitque Moyses sicut praeceperat Dominus. |
| 12 | And the children of Israel said to Moses: Behold we are consumed, we all perish. | Dixerunt autem filii Israël ad Moysen: Ecce consumpti sumus, omnes perivimus. |
| 13 | Whosoever approacheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, he dieth. Are we all to a man to be utterly destroyed? | Quicumque accedit ad tabernaculum Domini, moritur. Num usque ad internecionem cuncti delendi sumus? |
