Much has been written and speculated about the series of events that start with Aaron’s staff transforming into a serpent and the quick replication of this act by the magicians and sorcerers of the court. All these events, except the tenth plague (the death of the firstborn), are connected to nature in some way. They serve as examples of God’s extraordinary acts. The author not only aims to remind us that the ancestors left Egypt long ago, but also emphasizes that the Lord led them out by performing numerous miracles. It was certainly not easy, as Pharaoh’s strength and power tried to block them, but against the Lord’s power, no strength or might can prevail—especially when that confrontation is to defend and rescue the weak and enslaved.
