Footnotes

  1. 5 Or “rod” (, ); , “walking stick”; “shepherd’s staff.” The staff appears here to be the shepherd’s staff that he was holding. It now will become the instrument with which Moses will do the mighty works, for it is the medium of the display of the divine power (S. R. Driver, Exodus, ; also, L. Shalit, “How Moses Turned a Staff into a Snake and Back Again,” 9 [1983]: 72–73).
