Read Exodus 7.8-13. In 7.8-13: Aaron's staff turns into a snake before Pharaoh. Aaron uses the same miraculous sign to try to convince Pharaoh of God's power that he had earlier used to convince the Israelites (4.1-5; 30). In verse 12: The word snake is the same word translated as "dragon" in Ezek 29.3, where it describes the Egyptian Pharaoh: "Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon." Aaron's snake swallowing the Egyptian's snakes foreshadows the future victory of Israel's God over Pharaoh. In verse 13: Pharaoh's heart was hardened. See Comment on 4.21. Comments or Questions..
