And Jehovah said unto him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.
And he said, Cast in on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
And thou shalt take in thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
