1 “They will never believe me or listen to me!” Moses protested. “They will say, ‘The Lord didn’t appear to you.’ ”
2 Then the Lord asked him, “What’s that in your hand?”He answered, “A shepherd’s staff.”
3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”When Moses threw it on the ground, it became a snake, and he ran away from it.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out and grab the snake by its tail.” He reached out and grabbed it, and it turned back into a staff as he held it.
