2	וַיֹּ֧אמֶר אֵלָ֛יו יְהוָ֖ה [מזה] (מַה־) (זֶּ֣ה‪‬) בְיָדֶ֑ךָ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מַטֶּֽה׃	The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.”	Then the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied.
3	וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הַשְׁלִיכֵ֣הוּ אַ֔רְצָה וַיַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥הוּ אַ֖רְצָה וַיְהִ֣י לְנָחָ֑שׁ וַיָּ֥נָס מֹשֶׁ֖ה מִפָּנָֽיו׃	And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it.	The LORD said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.
4	וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֔ה שְׁלַח֙ יָֽדְךָ֔ וֶאֱחֹ֖ז בִּזְנָב֑וֹ וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָדוֹ֙ וַיַּ֣חֲזֶק בּ֔וֹ וַיְהִ֥י לְמַטֶּ֖ה בְּכַפּֽוֹ׃	But the LORD said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it by the tail”—so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand—	Then the LORD said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.
