Exodus 7:8-13 - Aaron's Staff Becomes A Snake

8 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying: 9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you saying, Give a miracle for yourselves, you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod, and throw it in front of Pharaoh. It shall become a snake. 10 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh. And they did so, as Jehovah had commanded. And Aaron threw down his rod in front of Pharaoh and in front of his servants, and it became a snake. 11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers. And they, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts. 12 For each man threw down his rod, and they became snakes. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. 13 And He hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he did not listen to them, as Jehovah had said.
