¹⁷ And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”

²⁰ Then Moses ^(A)took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took ^(B)the rod of God in his hand.

⁵ And the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which ^(B)you struck the river, and go.

^6 (A)Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”

And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
