Contextual Overview

8 And it came to pass, when on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and ripened almonds. 9 And Moses brought out all the staves from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one his staff. 10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings before me, that they may not die. 11 And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he. 12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we expire, we perish, we all perish. 13 Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether?
