1 Then Moses said to God, “But the Israelites will not believe me when I tell them that you sent me. They will say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’”
2 But the Lord said to Moses, “What is that you have in your hand?” Moses answered, “It is my walking stick.”
3 Then God said, “Throw your walking stick on the ground.” So Moses threw his walking stick on the ground, and it became a snake. Moses ran from it,
4 but the Lord said to him, “Reach out and grab the snake by its tail.” When Moses reached out and caught the snake’s tail, the snake became a walking stick again.
