Aaron’s Miraculous Rod
8 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, a‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, b‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ”
10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just aas the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it bbecame a serpent.

Exodus
Exodus
EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
