Numbers 17:3 in Context — Numbers 17

1 L’Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:

2 Parle aux enfants d’Israël, et prends d’eux une verge selon les maisons de leurs pères, soit douze verges de la part de tous leurs princes selon les maisons de leurs pères.

3 Tu écriras le nom de chacun sur sa verge, et tu écriras le nom d’Aaron sur la verge de Lévi; car il y aura une verge pour chaque chef des maisons de leurs pères.

4 Tu les déposeras dans la tente d’assignation, devant le témoignage, où je me rencontre avec vous.

5 L’homme que je choisirai sera celui dont la verge fleurira, et je ferai cesser de devant moi les murmures que profèrent contre vous les enfants d’Israël.
