well, what i know of the serpents is that moses's half-brother, aaron was the dude who threw his staff on the ground & God made it turn into a serpent. this is a display to show their oppressors that God is real & not to be trifled with. of course, the oppressors have their mage do the same trick, which led to Moses's God giving the evil dudes plague.

if i'm wrong, please correct me.
