Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on

When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes,

“ Then hold out the pieces of wood you have inscribed, so the people can see them.

“ When the sticks you have written on are in your hand and in full view of the people,

The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.

And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.

And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.

“ When the sticks you have written on are in your hand and in full view of the people,

And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

The sticks you write on will be in your hand in front of them.

The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’

“ Son of man, pack your belongings as if you were going on a long trip. Leave in the daytime. Let the people see you. Start out from where you are. Go to another place. Perhaps they will understand the meaning of what you are doing. But they will still refuse to obey me.

So Moses spoke to the Israelites. Their leaders gave him 12 walking sticks. They gave one for the leader of each of Israel’s tribes. Aaron’s walking stick was among them.Moses put the sticks in front of the Lord in the tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept.The next day Moses entered the tent. He looked at Aaron’s walking stick. It stood for the tribe of Levi. Moses saw that it had begun to grow new shoots. It had also produced buds and flowers and almonds.Then Moses brought out all the walking sticks from in front of the Lord. He brought them to all the Israelites. They looked at them. And each man took his own walking stick.

I spoke to the prophets. They saw many visions. I gave you warnings through them.”
