Aaron’s Walking Stick Becomes a Snake

⁸ The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ⁹ “Moses, when ·the king [^LPharaoh] asks you to do a ·miracle [wonder], tell Aaron to [^Ltake and] throw his ·walking stick [staff] down in front of ·the king [^LPharaoh], and it will become a ·snake [serpent; 4:3–5; ^Csymbols of dangerous power in Egypt; Pharaoh’s headdress had a serpent at its crest].”

¹⁰ So Moses and Aaron went to ·the king [^LPharaoh] as the Lord had commanded. Aaron threw his ·walking stick [staff] down in front of ·the king [^LPharaoh] and his officers, and it became a ·snake [serpent].
