Rod of Aaron in Lore
Aaron's rod, like his brother Moses' staff was endowed with great power during the Plagues of Egypt. In the Bible, there are two known displays of the rod's power. The first is during the meeting with the Pharaoh and Moses, it is Aaron who throws down his rod that turns into a serpent and devours the other snakes created by Pharaoh's high priests. The other was when the rod was used to prove the tribe of Levi were worthy of becoming priests, as "it put forth buds, produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds"
