→Aaron's rod that budded
The next day after this, the people of Israel did an incredibly foolish thing. They blamed Moses and Aaron for the deaths of Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and their followers. Again God threatened to destroy them all, and this time God did not wait for a response. A plague struck the people, who began to die rapidly where they stood. So Moses ordered Aaron to prepare his censor and offer incense at once to make atonement for the congregation. Aaron stood between those who were already dead and those who were still alive, and the plague was stopped. 14,700 people died in this plague.<ref name=Blank/><ref name=ebibleteacher/><ref name=Dunagan/><ref name=chabad/>

The next day, God ordered Moses to gather a rod from each of the twelve tribes, with the name of [[Aaron]] on the Levite rod. Moses deposited these twelve rods in the Holy Place. Twenty-four hours later, Aaron's rod had budded and produced ripe [[almond]]s. Thereafter Aaron kept the rod in the [[Holy of Holies]] as a perpetual reminder to the people to stop grumbling about who had what place in the camp of Israel.<ref name=ebibleteacher/><ref name=chabad/> ({[Bible ref|book=Numbers|chap=17}})
