Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water. Stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that turned into a serpent.
#exodus 7:15 #vaeira

Water in the Scriptures is often a symbol of people and the Nile was the source of life for Egypt. By striking the Nile, Moses was threatening the very existence of the people, who were in turn the source of power and authority for Pharaoh. Moses' first sign to Pharaoh should reasonably have been the last, but there's no limit to the self-destructive power of pride.
