Exodus 4:2-17

2And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, WhatH2088 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 becameH1961 a serpentH5175; and MosesH4872 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 it.

4And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, PutH7971 forthH7971 thine handH3027, and takeH2388 it by the tailH2180: (and he putH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027, and laidH7971 holdH2388 of it, and it becameH1961 a rodH4294 in his handH3027:)

5that they may believeH539 that the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290, hath appearedH7200 unto thee.

6And the LORDH3068 saidH559 furthermoreH5750 unto him, PutH935 nowH4994 thine handH3027 intoH935 thy bosomH2436. And he putH935 his handH3027 intoH935 his bosomH2436: and when he tookH3318 it outH3318, beholdH2009, his handH3027 was leprousH6879, as white as snowH7950.

7And he saidH559, PutH7725 thine handH3027 intoH413 thy bosomH2436 againH7725. (And he putH7725 his handH3027 intoH413 his bosomH2436 againH7725; and when he tookH3318 it outH3318 of his bosomH2436, beholdH2009, it was turnedH7725 againH7725 as his other fleshH1320.)

8And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, ifH518 they will notH3808 believeH539 thee, neitherH3808 hearken to the voiceH6963 of the firstH7223 signH226, that they will believeH539 the voiceH6963 of the latterH314 signH226.

9And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, ifH518 they will notH3808 believeH539 evenH1571 theseH428 twoH8147 signsH226, neitherH3808 hearken unto thy voiceH6963, that thou shalt takeH3947 of the waterH4325 of the riverH2975, and pourH8210 it uponH1961 the dryH3004 landH3004: and the waterH4325 whichH834 thou takest outH4480 of the riverH2975 shall becomeH1961 bloodH1818 uponH1961 the dryH3004 landH3004.

10And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Oh LordH3068, I am notH3808 eloquent, neitherH3808 heretofore, norH3808 sinceH3588 thou hast spokenH1696 unto thy servantH5650: for I am slowH3515 of speechH6310, and of a slowH3515 tongueH3956.

11And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Who hath madeH7760 man’sH120 mouthH6310? or who maketh a manH120 dumb, or deafH2795, or seeingH6493, or blindH5787? is it notH3808 I the LORDH3068?

12NowH6258 therefore goH1961, and I will be with thy mouthH6310, and teachH3384 thee whatH834 thou shalt speakH1696.

13And he saidH559, OhH4994 LordH136, sendH7971, I prayH4994 thee, by the handH3027 of him whom thou wilt sendH7971.

14And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 againstH2734 MosesH4872, and he saidH559, Is there notH3808 AaronH175 thy brotherH251 the LeviteH3881? I knowH3045 that he canH7200 speakH1696 wellH1571. And also, beholdH2009, he cometh forthH3318 to meetH7125 thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be gladH8055 in his heartH3820.

15And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, and putH7760 the wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310: and I will be with thy mouthH6310, and with his mouthH6310, and will teachH3384 youH834 whatH834 ye shall doH6213.

16And he shall be thy spokesmanH6310 unto the peopleH5971: and it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, that he shall be to thee a mouthH6310, and thou shalt be to him as GodH430.

17And thou shalt takeH3947 in thine handH3027 this rodH4294, wherewith thou shalt doH6213 the signsH226.
