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 turnedH1961 into a serpentH5175; and MosesH4872 fledH5127 from it. 4But the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ReachH7971 outH7971 with your handH3027 and graspH270 it by its tailH2180”--so he reachedH7971 outH7971 with his handH3027 and caughtH2388 it, and it turnedH1961 into a staffH4294 in his 3handH3709-- 5“soH4616 thatH4616 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 inside the foldH2436 ofH2436 your robeH2436.” So he putH935 his handH3027 inside the foldH2436, and when he tookH3318 it outH3318, beholdH2009, his handH3027 was 6leprousH6879 like snowH7950. 7Then He saidH559, “PutH7725 your handH3027 inside the foldH2436 ofH2436 your robeH2436 againH7725.” So he putH7725 his handH3027 into the foldH2436 againH7725, and when he tookH3318 it outH3318 of the foldH2436, beholdH2009, 7it was restoredH7725 like the rest of his fleshH1320. 8“So ifH518 they will not believeH539 you nor 8payH8085 attentionH8085 to the 9evidenceH6963 of the firstH7223 10signH226, they may believeH539 the 11evidenceH6963 of the lastH314 12signH226. 9But ifH518 they will not believeH539 evenH1571 theseH428 twoH8147 13signsH226 nor payH8085 attentionH8085 to 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 14will turnH1961 into bloodH1818 on the dryH3006 groundH3006.”
