民數記-Numbers 第 17 章

17:1耶和華對摩西說,
Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2你要告訴以色列人,從他們取杖,每宗族一根;從他們所有的首領,按著宗族,共取十二根;你要將各人的名字寫在各人的杖上,
Speak to the children of Israel, and take from them rods, one for each father's house, twelve rods from all their leaders according to their fathers' houses; you shall write everyone's name upon his rod.
17:3並要將亞倫的名字寫在利未的杖上,因為各宗族的族長必有一根杖。
And you shall write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the head of each of their fathers' houses.
17:4你要把這些杖放在會幕內見證櫃前,我與你們相會之處。
And you shall place them in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
17:5我揀選的那人,他的杖必發芽;這樣,我必使以色列人向你們所發、對我的怨言止息。
And the rod of the man whom I choose shall bud, and I will put a stop to the murmurings of the children of Israel against Me, which they murmur against you.
17:6於是摩西告訴以色列人。他們的首領就把杖交給他,按著宗族,每首領一根,共有十二根;亞倫的杖也在其中。
So Moses spoke to the children of Israel. And every one of their leaders gave him a rod, one rod for each leader according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron among their rods.
17:7摩西就把杖放在見證的會幕內,在耶和華麵前。
And Moses placed the rods before Jehovah in the Tent of the Testimony.
17:8第二天,摩西進見證的會幕去;看哪,利未家亞倫的杖已經發了芽,甚至生了花苞,開了花,結了熟杏。
And on the next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony, and there was the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi: it had budded; it even put forth buds and produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds.
17:9摩西就把所有的杖從耶和華麵前拿出來,給以色列眾人看;他們看見了,各首領就把自己的杖拿去。
And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked; and each one took his rod.
17:10耶和華對摩西說,把亞倫的杖放回見證櫃前,給這些背叛之子留作記號;這樣,你就使他們向我發的怨言止息,免得他們死亡。
Then Jehovah said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, so that you may put an end to their murmurings against Me, and they not die.
17:11摩西就這樣行;耶和華怎樣吩咐他,他就怎樣行。
And Moses did so; just as Jehovah commanded him, so he did.
17:12以色列人對摩西說,我們死啦,我們滅亡啦,我們都滅亡啦!
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Alas, we die out; we perish; all of us perish.
17:13凡挨近耶和華帳幕的是必死的。難道我們都要死麼?
Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of Jehovah, dies. Are we to completely die out?
