출애굽기 7:9의 Chasidut
כִּי֩ יְדַבֵּ֨ר אֲלֵכֶ֤ם פַּרְעֹה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר תְּנ֥וּ לָכֶ֖ם מוֹפֵ֑ת וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן קַ֧ח אֶֽת־מַטְּךָ֛ וְהַשְׁלֵ֥ךְ לִפְנֵֽי־פַרְעֹ֖ה יְהִ֥י לְתַנִּֽין׃
바로가 너희에게 이르기를 너희는 이적을 보이라 하거든 너는 아론에게 명하기를 너의 지팡이를 가져 바로 앞에 던지라 하라 그것이 뱀이 되리라
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 7,9. “if Pharaoh will say to you: ‘identify yourselves by means of a miracle, say to Aaron to take his staff etc.;’” at first glance the word לכם used by Pharaoh here was superfluous as Moses and Aaron did not need to identify themselves to each other. He should simply have said: ‘prove your mission by performing a miracle!’”
The Ari z’al writes that it is a rule that every human being is convinced that his words will make a favourable impression on his Creator, and as a result further G’d’s dispensing of benefits to His people. Because of this belief in the power of speech, every person has to be extremely careful not to abuse this power of speech by talking nonsense, or worse. Pharaoh invited, or challenged Moses and Aaron to say things which would serve as proof that due to their words their G’d of whose existence Pharaoh was well aware, would perform acts that would impress him. When Moses therefore instructed Aaron to take his staff, throw it to the ground and it would turn into a snake, he complied with exactly what Pharaoh had demanded of them. The miracle was the result of Moses’ speaking to Aaron.
