serpent in Exodus 7
SER-pent
This creature shows up in Exodus 7:9: ““When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Exodus 7:9
““When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.’””
