Explanatory Note

At this point Moses produces his two physical miracles, having delayed their display until Pharaoh has thrown down his utmost challenge. The way these two verses are phrased suggest that the staff was physically transformed into a real, living serpent. His hand, as he drew it out, was really a shining, brilliant white. There was no delusion or fantasy of the sort sorcerers employ when they deceive the senses without altering any element of reality.
