Moses Rod/staff That Parted The Red by MindHacker9009(m): 9:53am On Sep 16, 2023

"Moses’ Rod/staff figures prominently throughout the story of the Exodus from Egypt and our ancestors’ subsequent sojourn in the desert. We first encounter the staff at the incident of the burning bush, where G‑d asks Moses what he has in his hands, and he replies, “A staff.” At the end of the incident, the verse tells us that Moses returned to Eygpt and “took the staff of G‑d in his hand.”

1 Yet, other than informing us that Moses used his Rod/staff to perform many miracles—including turning it into a snake,
2 bringing about some of the plagues, and drawing water from the rock
3—Scripture itself doesn’t tell us anything unique about the history of the staff or why it is referred to as “the staff of G‑d.”

Twilight of Creation
The staff’s uniqueness is first mentioned in the Mishnah,
4 which lists Moses' staff as one of ten wondrous things created at twilight before the first Shabbat of Creation.

Passed Down the Generations
The Midrash
5 relates that this Rod/staff was given to Adam in the Garden of Eden. In turn, Adam gave it to Enoch, Enoch to Noah, Noah to Shem, Shem to Abraham, Abraham to Isaac, and Isaac to Jacob. Jacob brought it to Egypt and passed it on to his son Joseph. When Joseph died, the Egyptians pillaged his household goods, and the staff was placed in the palace of Pharaoh.

Eventually, Jethro, who was then one of Phroah’s advisors, saw the rod and the letters upon it (see more on that below), and he desired it. So he stole the rod and brought it to Midian, where he planted it in the middle of the garden of his house. From that point, no one was able to pull it from the ground.

Moses Takes the Rod
When Moses fled Eygpt and came to Jethro’s house, he went into the garden, saw the rod, and read the letters upon it. He pulled the rod out of the ground, which no one had been able to do until then. Jethro observed this and said: “This one will one day redeem Israel from Egypt.” He therefore decided to give his daughter Zipporah to Moses as a wife.

6 It was made out of wood from the Tree of Knowledge.

Moses is the True Messiah coming back for his second coming to use his Rod/staff again. The Rod was made out of wood live and direct from the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden.

Exodus 4:3 Moses’ rod is turned into a serpent.

Exodus 14:15-31 NKJV
And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

In Exodus 7:10–1, Aaron "cast down his rod" and it became a serpent. When he does so, the Pharaoh's sorcerers counter by similarly casting down their own rods, which also become serpents, but Aaron's rod swallowed them all. Similarly, in Numbers 17:23 it sprouted blossoms when not being held.

how come Adam passed the rod to Enoch when Enoch did not exist in his timeline? If you had said seth it would have made a little sense. How do you guys believe all this stories damn to think that I was once like you.
