Parallel
Exodus 4:3
Westminster Leningrad Codex · Berean Standard Bible
וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הַשְׁלִיכֵ֣הוּ אַ֔רְצָה וַיַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥הוּ אַ֖רְצָה וַיְהִ֣י לְנָחָ֑שׁ וַיָּ֥נָס מֹשֶׁ֖ה מִפָּנָֽיו׃
“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.
