7:8 耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說:
7:9 「法老若對你們說:『你們行件奇事吧!』你就吩咐亞倫說:『把杖丟在法老面前,使杖變作蛇。』」
7:10 摩西、亞倫進去見法老,就照耶和華所吩咐的行。亞倫把杖丟在法老和臣僕面前,杖就變作蛇。
7:11 於是法老召了博士和術士來;他們是埃及行法術的,也用邪術照樣而行。
7:12 他們各人丟下自己的杖,杖就變作蛇;但亞倫的杖吞了他們的杖。
7:13 法老心裡剛硬,不肯聽從摩西、亞倫,正如耶和華所說的。

10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. 11 Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: 12 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

雖然大家都把杖變成蛇,但是亞倫的杖所變的蛇,卻吞吃了其他的蛇,展現了上帝的權能勝過一切!
而這一次的較量,法老並沒有看在眼裡,還是自以為高高在上,不肯屈服!在人來說,這樣的挫折可能會因此洩氣,但是上帝沒有讓摩西和亞倫洩氣,他們還是堅持繼續下去!
我們信靠主的人,也要有這樣的堅持,不要害怕眼前的敵人是多麼囂張與心硬,有一天一定會屈服在上帝的手下的!所以保羅說:「因我們行事為人是憑著信心,不是憑著眼見。」(哥林多後書5:7)
