Exodus 4:1-4 ▼

1 Moses answered, “What if they won’t believe me and will not obey me but say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you’? ”

2 The LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand? ” “A staff,” he replied.

3 “Throw it on the ground,” he said. So Moses threw it on the ground, it became a snake, and he ran from it.

4 The LORD told Moses, “Stretch out your hand and grab it by the tail.” So he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand.
