The Bible story

The LORD told Moses and Aaron that when Pharaoh said, "Shew a miracle for you," Aaron should cast his rod before Pharaoh. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, "and it became a serpent." Pharaoh's magicians cast down their rods too, and they became serpents, "but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods." Yet he hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he hearkened not unto them, "as the LORD had said." Read the whole story in Exodus 7:8–13 (KJV).

Memory verse: "For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods." (Exodus 7:12, KJV). It is printed on every level.
