Parallel
Exodus 4:3
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
And He said: ‘Cast it on the ground.’ And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
“Throw it on the ground,” said the LORD. So Moses threw it on the ground, and it became a snake (note: Hebrew nachash, in contrast to Aaron’s staff, which became a tannin in Exodus 7:10), and he ran from it.
