Parashah Korach

G‑d tells Moshè to take a staff from each of the twelve tribes, with the name of each tribe's prince written upon their staff. Another staff was taken to represent the tribe of Levi, and Aaron's name was written on that staff. These staffs were placed overnight in the Holy of Holies chamber of the Tabernacle. Next morning they were removed, and miraculously Aaron's staff had budded with almond blossoms and almonds. This was further proof that Aaron was G‑d's choice for High Priest. 
G‑d commands Moses to return "Aaron's staff" to the Holy of Holies, where it is to remain for perpetuity.
 Aaron's staff, manna and the Tablets
