Thematic Bible: The transformation of moses' rod into a serpent


Thematic Bible



Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

He said, "Throw it on the ground." He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it. Yahweh said to Moses, "Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail." He put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.

For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
