On determining these approaches, the verses within the context of rod-serpent miracle and the pharaoh are centralised, since the subject is mentioned and the exegesis sources have mentioned of the subject within the scope of these verses. Depending on the pharaoh who lived in the period of Moses’s prophethood, his very self used the phrases in the relevant verses and due to the fact that the study is based on status, not on the person, the usage of ʽpharaohʼ as common and singular noun is adopted. Our study is based on the data in exegesis sources. However, for the purpose of informing about the sources of modern period approaches, modern studies over the topic are used. To make the study exegesis-based and not history of religions-based, the data of the modern studies are placed in footnotes. On treating the subject and within the context of reader, the commenting approaches by the exegetes which affect their points of view for the verses and consequently their atomized-holistic views, the diversity of sources used by them and their mind structure are presented.
