The staff ate it later

> Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts. For each one threw down his staff and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.

- Exodus 7:1-12 (NIV)

Many moons ago I had a girlfriend who worked on an nationally broadcast afternoon show where they often had guest chefs demonstrating dishes, so I would come home from my thankless PhD work to eat Michelin-starred food from a lunchbox. Overall not so bad.

Cool story, I upvoted because the downvotes felt a bit harsh. But what does the first part have to do with the second part?

"staff" meaning either the crew filming a TV show, or meaning a magical staff

I get it now. More staff engineers than I expected in the Bible.
