10 So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and (a)his servants, and it (A)became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh also (B)called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the (b)(C)magicians of Egypt, did (c)the same with (D)their secret arts. 12 For each one threw down his staff and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.
