the thicket, and the stick was in his hand.
LXXVII:42 And this is the stick with which all the works of our Elohim were performed, after
he had created heaven and earth, and all the host of them, seas, rivers and all their fishes.
LXXVII:43 And when Elohim had driven Adam from the garden of Eden, he took the stick in
his hand and went and tilled the ground from which he was taken.
LXXVII:44 And the stick came down to Noah and was given to Shem and his descendents, until
it came into the hand of Abraham the Hebrew.
LXXVII:45 And when Abraham had given all he had to his son Isaac, he also gave to him this
stick.
LXXVII:46 And when Jacob had fled to Padan-aram, he took it into his hand, and when he
returned to his father he had not life it behind him.
LXXVII:47 Also when he went down to Egypt he took it into his hand and gave it to Joseph,
one portion above his brethren, for Jacob had taken it by force from his brother Esau.
LXXVII:48 And after the death of Joseph, the nobles of Egypt came into the house of Joseph,
and the stick came into the hand of Reuel the Midianite, and when he went out of Egypt,
he took it in his hand and planted it in his garden.
LXXVII:49 And all the mighty men of the Kinites tried to pluck it when they endeavored to
get Zipporah his daughter, but they were unsuccessful.
LXXVII:50 So that stick remained planted in the garden of Reuel, until he came who had a
right to it and took it.
LXXVII:51 And when Reuel saw the stick in the hand of Moses, he wondered at it, and he
gave him his daughter Zipporah for a wife.
