وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّى لَا يَخَافُ لَدَىَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

Explanatory Note

When he did as he was told and threw down his staff, he saw it come alive, writhing at speed like a small but fast-moving snake. His spontaneous nature caught up with him as he was totally taken by surprise. He could never have thought the staff would be so transformed on simply being thrown down. Hence, he ran away, with no thought of going back to take a further look at this serpent. His whole reaction suggests complete and utter surprise. Yet he was soon reassured when the call from on high resumed. This now told him of the nature of his assignment: “Moses, have no fear! [Said God]: Messengers have nothing to fear in My presence.” (Verse 10) He is told that he is entrusted with a message from God, and God’s messengers entertain no fear in the presence of their Lord, as He informs them of their duties.
