6. Pharaoh demanded a miracle

Pharaoh demanded a miracle—and his own magicians appeared to match it.

Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh, and it became a serpent. Egypt’s magicians performed a similar sign through their secret arts, but Aaron’s staff did something theirs could not: it swallowed every one of their staffs.

Even after witnessing this, Pharaoh’s heart remained hard.

📖 Inspired by Exodus 7:8–13
