What do the signs given to Moses signify?

Answered in 1 source

The signs given to Moses represent God's power, cleansing, and judgment.

In Exodus 4, Moses is given three signs, each laden with meaning. The first sign, where Moses' rod becomes a serpent, symbolizes God's power and authority over creation and sin, signifying how He will deliver Israel from bondage. The second sign, involving Moses' hand becoming leprous and then healed, illustrates the necessity of spiritual cleansing and indicates the grace that will be mediated through Christ, who bore our sins. Lastly, the third sign of turning the Nile water into blood serves as a warning of impending judgment against Egypt's idolatry and sinfulness. Collectively, these signs serve as a precursor to the greater signs and wonders of Christ’s redemption, demonstrating not only God's might but also His merciful provision for His people.
