3
καὶ εἶπεν ῥῖψον αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐγένετο ὄφις καὶ ἔφυγεν μωυσῆς ἀπ' αὐτοῦ
Exodus 4:3
Arcana Coelestia # 7064
7064. 'And did the signs before the eyes of the people' means a corroboration suited to the ability to grasp things. This is clear from the meaning of 'the signs' as the corroboration of truths and thus a knowledge of them, dealt with in 6870; and from the meaning of 'the eyes' as the powers of inner sight or the understanding, dealt with in 2701, 3820, 4403-4421, 4523-4534, so that 'before the eyes' means suited to people's understanding or ability to grasp things.
