Mosesโ€™ Staff Becomes a Snake

8ย Then theย Lordย told Moses and Aaron,ย 9ย โ€œWhen Pharaoh says to you, โ€˜Perform a miraculous sign,โ€™ then you are to say to Aaron, โ€˜Take your staff and throw it in front of Pharaoh.โ€™ It will become a serpent.โ€

10ย So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and did what theย Lordย had commanded them. Aaron threw his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.ย 11ย Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and sorcerers, and theyโ€”along with the Egyptian magiciansโ€”did the same thing with their secret arts.ย 12ย So each one threw down his staff and it became a serpent, but Aaronโ€™s staff swallowed up their staffs.ย 13ย Yet Pharaohโ€™s heart was stubborn[a]ย and he did not listen to them, just as theย Lordย had said would happen.

CONCLUSION

Kingsnakes use constriction to kill their prey and tend to be opportunistic in their diet. They are known to seek out and eat other snakes (ophiophagy), includingย venomous snakes, like rattlesnakes, vipers, and cobras.

  1. โ€œControl is power,โ€ Goeth mutters. He argues that because the Naziโ€™s can and do kill Jews at any time they please, Nazi leadership have all the power. Schindler rebukes that claim: โ€œPower is when we have every justification to kill and we donโ€™t.โ€ Goeth scoffs. Schindler delivers his monologue:

    Thatโ€™s power. Thatโ€™s what the emperors had. A man stole something, heโ€™s brought in before the emperor, he throws himself down on the floor, he begs for mercy, he knows heโ€™s going to dieโ€ฆ and the emperor pardons him. This worthless man. He lets him go. Thatโ€™s power.
