The Sign of the Rod

Exodus 7:8-13

ADONAI said to Moshe and Aharon,

"When Pharaoh says to you, 'Perform a miracle,' tell Aharon to take his staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, so that it can become a snake."

Moshe and Aharon went in to Pharaoh and did this, as ADONAI had ordered -Aharon threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his servants, and it turned into a snake.

But Pharaoh in turn called for the sages and sorcerers; and they too, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing, making use of their secret arts.

Each one threw his staff down, and they turned into snakes. But Aharon's staff swallowed up theirs.

Nevertheless, Pharaoh was made hardhearted; and he didn't listen to them, as ADONAI had said would happen.
