Then the Lord asked him,“ What is that in your hand?”“ A shepherd’s staff,” Moses replied.

Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.

“ Pharaoh will demand,‘ Show me a miracle.’ When he does this, say to Aaron,‘ Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent!Then Pharaoh called in his own wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic.They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents! But then Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.Pharaoh’s heart, however, remained hard. He still refused to listen, just as the Lord had predicted.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, and he still refuses to let the people go.So go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes down to the river. Stand on the bank of the Nile and meet him there. Be sure to take along the staff that turned into a snake.Then announce to him,‘ The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you,“ Let my people go, so they can worship me in the wilderness.” Until now, you have refused to listen to him.So this is what the Lord says:“ I will show you that I am the Lord.” Look! I will strike the water of the Nile with this staff in my hand, and the river will turn to blood.The fish in it will die, and the river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink any water from the Nile.’”Then the Lord said to Moses:“ Tell Aaron,‘ Take your staff and raise your hand over the waters of Egypt— all its rivers, canals, ponds, and all the reservoirs. Turn all the water to blood. Everywhere in Egypt the water will turn to blood, even the water stored in wooden bowls and stone pots.’”So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them. As Pharaoh and all of his officials watched, Aaron raised his staff and struck the water of the Nile. Suddenly, the whole river turned to blood!
