God settled a leadership fight with a dead stick

Twelve dead sticks went into the tent. One came out with fruit on it. Numbers 17. Twelve staffs, one for each tribe, left in front of the ark to settle an argument nobody could settle by talking. The next day Aaron's had not just sprouted. It had budded, blossomed and grown almonds. Almonds show up more than you would expect once you start looking. The lampstand in Exodus was built with almond blossom cups. And when God shows Jeremiah an almond branch, it is a pun. The Hebrew for almond tree sounds like the Hebrew for watching. One ounce is 23 almonds and about 7 mg of vitamin E. Close to half a day. What vitamin E is for: it is fat soluble, so it works inside the fatty membrane wrapped around every one of your cells. That is exactly where it is needed. The bit nobody tells you: almonds give you fewer calories than the label says. Measured properly, an ounce delivers about 129 rather than the 170 it is credited with. The cell walls hold onto some of the fat and it passes straight through. Buy them raw and whole. Keep them somewhere dark and they will not go stale on you. Numbers 17:8, NIV
