出埃及记 7:12

12 他们各丢下自己的杖,杖就变作蛇;但亚伦的了他们的杖。

7292. 'Take your rod and throw it down in front of Pharaoh' means power which is demonstrated. This is clear from the meaning of 'rod' as power, dealt with in 4013, 4015, 4876, 4936, 6947, 7011, 7026; and from the meaning of 'throwing down in front of Pharaoh' as demonstrating, for what is thrown down before people's eyes is being demonstrated.
