Exodus 4:20

Then Moses took his wife and sons [Gershom and Eliezer, see Ex. 18:2–4] and had them sit on a donkey and returned to Egypt. He had God's (Elohim's) staff in his hand.
[Moses' staff in verse 2 has now become God's staff. It seems that it was a mistake to bring his family along on this mission, for in Ex. 18:1–6 he sends them home.]
