19. The staff turns into a snake:
Hashem told Moshe and Aaron that when Pharaoh asks them to show him a wonder, then you Moshe should tell Aaron to throw the staff in front of Pharaoh and it will miraculously turn into a snake. Moshe and Aaron did as they were instructed, and they appeared before Pharaoh. Aaron threw the staff in front of Pharaoh and his servants, and it turned into a snake. Pharaoh summoned his sages and sorcerers, and they too did the above using witchcraft. They threw their staff and it turned into a serpent. Aaron’s staff then went ahead and swallowed their staff. Pharaoh hardened his heart and did not agree to let the people go, as Hashem predicted. Moshe returned to Hashem and Hashem said to him that Pharaoh has refused to grant permission for the people to go. Hashem then instructed Moshe to perform the first plague, the plague of blood.
