About This Quote
This quote is a paraphrase of the book of Joshua. In Joshua, chapter 10, verse 12, God commands Moses to throw the stones from his hands on the ground. Moses does this and the stone he throws turns into a snake, which slithers away from his hand. As Moses then throws another stone, it becomes a snake as well.
So, he repeats this action two more times and each time he throws a stone, a snake comes forth. The story is about Moses’ faith in God and his willingness to do whatever God asks of him.
