Has the Staff of Moses Really Been Found?
A YouTube Video Claims It Has.
We’ve heard the stories in this video. Moses put the staff on the ground, and it became a snake. Pharaoh’s magician’s also could do this. But, Moses’s snake ate the other snakes. Well, I guess Moses’s snake was better. FYI: Staffs don’t become snakes when you put them on the ground. That would be magic, and magic doesn’t actually exist.
Another story of Moses and his staff is that when the Isrealites were in the desert, they were dying of thirst. Moses struck a rock with his staff, and water gushed forth. I think Moses said something like, “Do I have to do everything for you.” He took credit for God’s work, and then God didn’t let him go into the promised land. There’s a few problems with this story: Rocks don’t gush water out of them when you strike them with a wooden staff. What does happen is that the staff will break before the rock does. The other issue is that God doesn’t exist, so Moses taking credit for a supernatural act that never happened can’t be punished with stopping Moses from making it to the promised land.
