Numbers 17:1

And the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Speak to the Israelites and take from them twelve staffs, one from the leader of each tribe. Write each man’s name on his staff,

3 and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi, because there must be one staff for the head of each tribe.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
