So Moses brought out all the staffs from before the <sc>Lordsc> to all the Israelites. They looked at them,<n id="1" /> and each man took his staff.p>

&#8220;Speak to the Israelites, and receive from them a staff from each tribe,<n id="1" /> one from every tribal leader,<n id="2" /> twelve staffs; you must write each man&#8217;s name on his staff.
