And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron After he had given them their commission, and instructions to go to Pharaoh, and a little before they went in to him:
9
If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.
10
Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.
