And thou shall take this rod in thine hand Which he then had in his hand, and was no other than his shepherd's staff: wherewith thou shall do signs: wondrous things, meaning the ten plagues inflicted on Egypt.
15
You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do.
16
He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him.
17
And take in your hand this staff, with which you shall do the signs."
