Exodus 4:2-8 ▼

2 The LORD said to him, |What is that in your hand?| And he said, |A staff.|

3 Then He said, |Throw it on the ground.| So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

4 But the LORD said to Moses, |Stretch out your hand and grasp [it] by its tail|-- so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand--

5 |that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.|

6 The LORD furthermore said to him, |Now put your hand into your bosom.| So he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow.

7 Then He said, |Put your hand into your bosom again.| So he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was restored like [the rest of] his flesh.

8 |If they will not believe you or heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe the witness of the last sign.
