The staff didn't turn into a snake and ate the Faroh right away because; * The list of fears mentioned by Musa A.S. wouldn't have been faced/treated to transform his mindset and provide heart comfort - thereby transforming our mindset about dealing with any challenging situation. Face it, deal with it, with the help of Allah SWT, for the sake of Allah SWT. * To prove the point that they (the Faroh and his armies) are to be fearful of Allah SWT and not the other way around * To leave evidence for the public of that time (and by extension, to the people of all time) to witness the power of Allah - this put the magicians in prostration. Likewise, we humble ourselves in front of the strentght, power, and greatness of Allah SWT. Just some humble thoughts. And, Allah SWT knows best.
