The prophets have to have some sorts of miracles to prove their relation of prophethood with God, or else everyone could claim that high Divine Position by way of imposture. Therefore in the same time that his commission was explained to Moses, two great miracles too, were given him. The first one was his stick that when he threw it down it turned to a long fast creeping serpent who twisted violently!!

      The second miracle was his hand that when he thrust it into his arm-pit, and then pulled it out, it shone white with a Glorious Divine light, a miracle that was beyond the skill of any human magic.

      Indeed, nothing in this world should be considered simple, or useless. When Moses for the first time took a piece of wood as his rod to lean upon it, and to beat down leaves of trees with it to feed his sheep, he could never think that it could in future become a means or a weapon to overthrow Pharaoh of Egypt, bringing him down from his throne of power!

      In the above verse (NO.22) it was said to Moses:ِ

      ``Thrust your hand into your arm-pit, and it shall come out white without any FAULT.''

      The word, ``FAULT'' in this verse is to negate the verse in the EXODUSِ4:6 that has translated the, ``SHINING WHITE'' to something which may mean the disease of leprosy as follows:ِ

      ``Once again YAHOVAH spoke to Moses and said; put your hand inside your robe. Moses did so; and when he took his hand out, it was covered with white spots like snow.''
