and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, Tomorrow morning Jehovah will show who is His and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to Him. The one whom He chooses He will cause to come near to Him.

And it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tent of witness, and behold, the staff of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds.

Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because they have cast away the Law of Jehovah of Hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.

And a Branch shall go out from the trunk of Jesse, and a Shoot shall grow out of his roots.

He shall cause those who come from Jacob to take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

The wilderness and the desert shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.

It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah and the majesty of our God.

I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily and thrust forth his roots like Lebanon.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff back before the Testimony, to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put their murmurings away from Me, that they not die.

And I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. And I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the tyrants.

And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will put an end to your harlotry, and you shall no longer hire lovers.

Thus I will make you cease your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt anymore.

Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against Jehovah. And what is Aaron that you grumble against him?
