  1. The Dead Stick that Came Alive “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

  2. The Facts, Please! • Moses’ “dead stick” was a shepherd’s walking staff. When he was 40 years old, Moses went out into the desert and became a sheepherder. That is where he first used his staff.

  3. The Facts, Please! • In Bible times, a shepherd’s staff was from three to six feet long, usually with a crook at one end. This helped the shepherd climb hills or walk across the rough countryside. He used it to beat the bushes or brush when a sheep strayed into it. This helped him find the sheep and scare away any snakes or other reptiles that happened to be there.

  4. The Facts, Please! • The shepherd’s rod was used to count the sheep. At night, when the sheep were brought into the sheepfold or herded together, they passed under the rod, one by one, and were counted. It was used to mark the sheep. The end of a rod was dipped in dye, and every tenth sheep that passed under the rod was marked as a tithe and was later given to God in the temple.
