Numbers 17:6

Aaron’s Staff Buds

5The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myself of the constant grumbling of the Israelites against you.”6So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff—one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. And Aaron’s staff was among them.7Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
