He said, *Throw it on the ground.* He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moshe ran away from it.
You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.*
The LORD said to Moshe, *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.
*When Par`oh speaks to you, saying, 'Perform a miracle!' then you shall tell Aharon, 'Take your rod, and cast it down before Par`oh, that it become a serpent.'*
As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
