Verse 6 is found in chapter 17 of Numbers. God commands each tribe to present a staff and orders Aaron’s staff to be placed before the testimony. The procedure seeks to definitively end disputes concerning who has priestly authority. The staff represents each tribe, so the confirmation of a single staff becomes a public sign of divine election.

Des andern Morgens aber murrte die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel wider Mose und Aaron, und sprachen: Ihr habt des HERRN Volk getötet.
Y Moisés habló a los hijos de Israel, y todos los príncipes de ellos le dieron varas; cada príncipe por las casas de sus padres una vara, en todas doce varas; y la vara de Aarón estaba entre las varas de ellos.
Moïse parla aux enfants d'Israël; et tous leurs princes lui donnèrent une verge, chaque prince une verge, selon les maisons de leurs pères, soit douze verges; la verge d'Aaron était au milieu des leurs.
Mosè adunque parlò a’ figliuoli d’Israele; e tutti i lor capi gli diedero una verga per ciascun capo delle lor nazioni paterne, che furono dodici verghe; e la verga d’Aaronne era per mezzo le lor verghe.
Falou, pois, Moisés aos filhos de Israel; e todos os seus príncipes deram-lhe cada um uma vara, para cada príncipe uma vara, segundo as casas de seus pais, doze varas; e a vara de Arão estava entre as deles.
