16: Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:- edit KJV text
16: And thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, and of his associates.— edit Douay text
16: Son of man, take for thyself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and thou shalt take for thyself another rod, and thou shalt inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.— edit LXX text


The "sticks" referred to, are scrolls of parchment on which things are written. The stick upon which Judah was to write became the Holy Bible, the Old and New Testaments, because all of the writers in the Bible were Jewish [of the Tribe of Judah]
