Exodus 4:2-9
2And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto him, What is that in thine handH3027? And he saidH559, A rodH4294. 3And he saidH559, CastH7993 it on the groundH776. And he castH7993 it on the groundH776, and it became a serpentH5175; and MosesH4872 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 it. 4And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Put forthH7971 thine handH3027, and takeH270 it by the tailH2180. And he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and caughtH2388 it, and it became a rodH4294 in his handH3709: 5That they may believeH539 that YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290, hath appearedH7200 unto thee.
6And YhwhH3068 saidH559 furthermoreH5750 unto him, PutH935 now thine handH3027 into thy bosomH2436. And he putH935 his handH3027 into his bosomH2436: and when he tookH3318 it out, behold, his handH3027 was leprousH6879 as snowH7950. 7And he saidH559, PutH7725 thine handH3027 into thy bosomH2436 againH7725. And he putH7725 his handH3027 into his bosomH2436 againH7725; and pluckedH3318 it out of his bosomH2436, and, behold, it was turned againH7725 as his other fleshH1320. 8And it shall come to pass, if they will not believeH539 thee, neither hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the firstH7223 signH226, that they will believeH539 the voiceH6963 of the latterH314 signH226. 9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believeH539 also these twoH8147 signsH226, neither hearkenH8085 unto thy voiceH6963, that thou shalt takeH3947 of the waterH4325 of the riverH2975, and pourH8210 it upon the dryH3004 land: and the waterH4325 which thou takestH3947 out of the riverH2975 shall become bloodH1818 upon the dryH3006 land.1
