1Next those gave up their sticks who had had them green but with cracks, and these all gave them up green and stood in their own station. And the shepherd rejoiced over these that all were changed and had lost their cracks. 2And those also gave them up who had had them half green and half dry. The sticks of some of them were found quite green, of some half dry, of some dry and moth-eaten, but of some green and with buds. All these were sent each to his own station. 3Next those gave them up who had two-thirds green and one-third dry; many of them gave them up green, but many half-dry, and others dry and moth-eaten; these all stood in their own station. 4Next they gave them up who had had two-thirds dry, and one-third green. Many of them gave them up half-dry, and some dry and moth-eaten and others half-dry and with cracks, and a few green. These all stood in their own station. 5And those gave up their sticks who had had them green, but a very little dry and with cracks. Of these some gave them up green, and some green and with buds. These also went away to their own station. 6Next, those gave them up who had had a very little green, but the rest dry. Of these the sticks were found for the greatest part green and with buds, and fruit on the buds, and others quite green. Over these sticks the shepherd rejoiced greatly because they were found thus. And these went away each to his own station.
