Numbers 20:9

New American Bible - revised edition

So Moses took the staff from its place before the Lord, as he was ordered.

See the chapter Copy

Remove yourselves from this community, that I may consume them at once. But they fell prostrate.

So Moses took his wife and his sons, mounted them on the donkey, and started back to the land of Egypt. Moses took the staff of God with him.

And you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea, and split it in two, that the Israelites may pass through the sea on dry land.
