The Pharaohs heart was hardened, and the Egyptian magician also changed the staff into a snake.
God gave Moses three signs to show to the pharaoh that God had sent him. (Exodus 4:1-9) 1. His rod turned into a snake 2. His hand became leprous (as snow) then became normal again. 3. The water of the river turned to blood
There is no suggestion in the text that the snake represented anything except a real snake.
God told Moses to throw the staff, and God turned it into bronze and it was known to be the Nehushtan staff. When this happened, the staff turned into a snake. God ordered Moses to pick up the staff and when Moses did, it turned back to it's original self. Many people in Moses' time destroyed it for other goods.
first of all God turned the staff into the snake, and second, the magicians where helped by satin (WHICH IS A VERY MEAN PERSON)
It swallowed the magician's snakes.
It swallowed the magician's snakes.
Yes it is
It was a test of faith. Once the staff had transformed - he was instructed to pick up the snake by tail - risking getting bitten - however, when he did as instructed - the snake turned back into a staff.
The Pharaoh who committed suicide was Cleopatra. She reportedly killed herself with the venom from a snake bite and she was the last Pharaoh of Egypt.
Moses was regarded as a great prophet who led the people of Bani Israel (Israelites) from slavery and harsh life under the rule of Pharaoh. His brother Haroun also a prophet was his "Wazeer" (Arabic for Minister or secretary); both were sent to Pharaoh to accept the message of god. Prophet Moses was the only prophet that spoke directly to god, although he did not see god but vocally received direct guidance (divine revelation) from god. His miracles included white shining light when god commanded him to take his hand from his pocket, when god commanded him to release his cane it turned into a snake, the parting of the red sea so that his people including his brother may cross over and the Pharaoh along with his army drowned. The Qur'an mentions Moses more frequently than any other prophet.
Exodus ch.3 relates how God appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush, and the bush, though on fire, was not consumed. Other miracles (such as the rod, and the Plagues) were later.Earlier events, such as Moses in the Nile and being rescued by Pharaoh's daughter and later fleeing from Pharaoh (Exodus ch.2), were not stated as having been open miracles.According to Jewish tradition (and not stated openly in the Torah), Moses was able to escape Pharaoh's executioners (Exodus 2:15) only through a miracle (Rashi commentary on Exodus 4:11).
Exodus chapter 7 describes how the Egyptian magicians also had rods that turned into snakes, as did Moses' brother AAron, whose snake swallowed up the other serpents. This passage comes from the Priestly author, who was at pains to emphasise the importance of the priestly caste and therefore of Aaron, who had been little more than a spokesman for Moses in the older version of Exodus.
