2 The LORD said to him, |What is that in your hand?| He said, |A staff.| 3 The LORD said, |Throw it to the ground.| So he threw it to the ground, and it became a snake, and Moses ran from it. 4 But the LORD said to Moses, |Put out your hand and grab it by the tail|--so he put 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 also said to him, |Put your hand into your robe.| So he put his hand into his robe, and when he brought it out--there was his hand, leprous like snow! 7 He said, |Put your hand back into your robe.| So he put his hand back into his robe, and when he brought it out from his robe--there it was, restored like the rest of his skin! 8 If they do not believe you or pay attention to the former sign, then they may believe the latter sign.
