Aaron’s Rod
亚伦的棍子

A magic wand deriving from the biblical narrative of the rods of Moses and Aaron that were used in the miracles of di- viding the waters of the Red Sea and in causing water to gush from a rock in the desert. When Aaron cast his rod before pha- raoh and his magicians (Exodus 7), the rod transformed into  a serpent, hence the occult use of Aaron’s Rod with a motif of a serpent. An old Jewish legend states that Aaron’s rod was cre- ated on the sixth day of Creation and was retained by Adam after leaving the Garden of Eden, subsequently passing into the hands of a succession of patriarchs. An apocryphal Christian legend states that the rod was cut from the Tree of Knowledge, eventually came into the possession of Judas, and was the beam of the cross on which Christ was crucified.
一种魔杖，源于圣经中摩西和亚伦的杖的叙述，用于创造奇迹，分割红海的水，并使水从沙漠中的岩石中涌出。当亚伦把他的杖扔在帕饶和他的魔术师面前（出埃及记7章）时，杖变成了一条蛇，因此亚伦的杖被神秘地用在蛇的图案上。一个古老的犹太传说说，亚伦的杖是在创世的第六天制作的，在离开伊甸园后被亚当保留，随后落入了一系列族长的手中。一个虚构的基督教传说说，这根棍子是从知识树上砍下来的，最终落入犹大的手中，是耶稣被钉在十字架上的横梁。

The hazel wand used by water diviners in dowsing echoes the water finding by Aaron’s rod in the desert. Some form of wand has always been a symbol of authority. The wand also sur- vives as the magical staff of modern conjuring magicians.
