Exodus 4:2-9

2The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “1A staff.” 3Then He said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and 2it turned into a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4But the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand and grasp it by its tail”--so he reached out with his hand and caught it, and it turned into a staff in his 3hand-- 5“so that 4they may believe that 5the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

6The Lord furthermore said to him, “Now put your hand inside the fold of your robe.” So he put his hand inside the fold, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was 6leprous like snow. 7Then He said, “Put your hand inside the fold of your robe again.” So he put his hand into the fold again, and when he took it out of the fold, behold, 7it was restored like the rest of his flesh. 8“So if they will not believe you nor 8pay attention to the 9evidence of the first 10sign, they may believe the 11evidence of the last 12sign. 9But if they will not believe even these two 13signs nor pay attention to what you say, then you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground; and the water which you take from the Nile 14will turn into blood on the dry ground.”
