New Defender's Study Bible Notes

4:4 became a rod. The rod which was transmuted into a serpent, and then again into a rod, was Moses’ shepherd’s crook. Both events were miracles–the first a creative miracle, generating life in non-living materials (a phenomenon which evolutionists believe could be accomplished naturalistically if enough time were available), the second a providential miracle, accelerating the natural process whereby a living organism becomes inanimate through death and ossification.
