What happened to the serpents produced by the Egyptian magicians?

According to the account, the Egyptian magicians threw their rods down, and they became serpents. However, Aaron's serpent swallowed up the Egyptian serpents. Thus, the serpents produced by the magicians ultimately were completely swallowed up and consumed by Aaron's serpent.

Les teaches that Aaron's rod became a serpent, and when the Egyptian magicians threw their rods down, they also became serpents. But Aaron's serpent swallowed up the Egyptian serpents. He then asks what the picture is and directs us to 1 Corinthians chapter 15, where Paul describes a mystery and reveals a secret. The surrounding context emphasizes that death is on the scene every day because of sin, and that sin and death are synonymous, as the world's turmoil points to the soon return of Christ.
