Numbers 17:6-7

17:6 So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff, one for each leader, ¹  according to their tribes ²  – twelve staffs; the staff of Aaron was among their staffs. 17:7 Then Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the tent of the testimony. ³ 

[17:6]  ¹ tn Heb “a rod for one leader, a rod for one leader.”

[17:6]  ² tn Heb “the house of their fathers.”

[17:7]  ³ tn The name of the tent now attests to the centrality of the ark of the covenant. Instead of the “tent of meeting” (מוֹעֵד, mo’ed) we now find the “the tent of the testimony” (הָעֵדֻת, ha’edut).
