And write Aaron's name upon the staff of Levi: for every headman over the houses of their fathers shall have a rod. And put them in the tabernacle of witness where I will mete you. And his rod whom I chose / shall blossom: So I will make cease from me the grudgings of the children of Israel which they grudge against you.
