8580. 'Take in your hand, and go' means that furnished with that power, he is to carry out what has been commanded. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking in his hand' - taking his rod in it - as being furnished with that power. The fact that 'go' means carrying out what has been commanded is clear without explanation.
