Then the Lord said to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’
And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command for the Israelites, and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, and they did what the Lord had commanded. And Aaron threw down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
