Exodus 4:2-9

2The LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 is that in your handH3027?” And he saidH559, “1A staffH4294.” 3Then He saidH559, “ThrowH7993 it on the groundH776.” So he threwH7993 it on the groundH776, and 2it becameH1961 a serpentH5175; and MosesH4872 fledH5127 from it. 4But the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “StretchH7971 out your handH3027 and graspH270 it by its tailH2180”--so he stretchedH7971 out his handH3027 and caughtH2388 it, and it becameH1961 a staffH4294 in his 3handH3709-- 5“that 4they may believeH539 that 5the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290, has appearedH7200 to you.”

6The LordH3068 furthermoreH5750 saidH559 to him, “NowH4994 putH935 your handH3027 into your bosomH2436.” So he putH935 his handH3027 into his bosomH2436, and when he tookH3318 it out, beholdH2009, his handH3027 was 6leprousH6879 like snowH7950. 7Then He saidH559, “PutH7725 your handH3027 into your bosomH2436 againH7725.” So he putH7725 his handH3027 into his bosomH2436 againH7725, and when he tookH3318 it out of his bosomH2436, beholdH2009, 7it was restoredH7725 like the rest of his fleshH1320. 8“IfH518 they will not believeH539 you or 8heedH8085 the 9witnessH6963 of the firstH7223 signH226, they may believeH539 the 10witnessH6963 of the lastH314 signH226. 9But ifH518 they will not believeH539 evenH1571 theseH428 twoH8147 signsH226 or heedH8085 whatH6963 you sayH6963, then you shall takeH3947 someH4480 waterH4325 from the NileH2975 and pourH8210 it on the dryH3004 groundH3004; and the waterH4325 whichH834 you takeH3947 from the NileH2975 11will becomeH1961 bloodH1818 on the dryH3006 groundH3006.”
