Aaron's rod, picture, image, illustration

Aaron’s rod transformed into a serpent

God sends Moses and Aaron to the Pharaoh so that they can attest to His miraculous powers. Pharaoh demands to see a miracle and Aaron throws down his rod or staff, which immediately turns into a serpent. Although this impresses the Egyptians their own sorcerers fling down rods which similarly metamorphose, apparently confounding Moses and Aaron. However the serpent from his rod begins to consume the Egyptian snakes and the power of the miracle appears to impress the court. Yet Pharaoh stubbornly refuses to accept the transformation as indicative of any great divine power. So the great plagues of Egypt are sent by God, and only after the tenth does Pharaoh finally relent.
