Aaron's rod
Aaron's rod refers to any of the staffs carried by Moses' brother, Aaron, in the Old Testament. Along with Moses' rod, Aaron's rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt which preceded the Exodus. Upon two occasions, however, the singular virtue of spontaneous power when not in the grasp of its possessor was exhibited by Aaron's rod.
