Exo 7:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11-12 : Pharaoh calls his wise men and magicians, who also turn their rods into serpents using their secret arts. Some believe this was allowed by God to test Pharaoh, or that evil spirits helped the magicians. However, Aaron’s serpent swallows up all the others, showing that God’s power is much greater. This should have convinced Pharaoh that God was stronger, but it did not ( v. 11, 12; 2 Timothy 3:8 ).
