"And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from Me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their father's houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds" (Numbers 17:5-8).
The head of each tribe of Israel came,
And each of them brought to Moses their rod,
On each of those rods inscribing their name,
To find out which one would be chosen by God.
God chose a way, undeniably awesome,
To show who it was that He set apart:
Only the rod that He chose would blossom,
So all of the rebels would take it to heart.
Thus it was Aaron that God clearly chose,
For his was the singular rod that would bloom;
And so, in like manner, our Savior who rose
Refutes all imposters by His empty tomb!
