## Definition:
|
||
|
||
A staff is a long wooden stick or rod, often used as a walking stick.
|
||
|
||
* When Jacob was old, he used a staff to help him walk.
|
||
* God turned Moses’ staff into a snake to show his power to Pharaoh.
|
||
* Shepherds also used a staff to help guide their sheep, or to rescue the sheep when they fell or wandered.
|
||
* The shepherd’s staff had a hook on the end, so it differed from the shepherd’s rod, which was straight and was used to kill wild animals that were trying to attack the sheep.
