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
"When Pharaoh says to you, "Perform a wonder,' then you shall say to Aaron, "Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a snake.' "
10
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did as the Lord had commanded; Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake.
