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

⁸ And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ⁹ If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake. ¹⁰ Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake. ¹¹ Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts. ¹² For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods. ¹³ But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
