1 Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’”
2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?”He said, “A rod.”
3 He said, “Throw it on the ground.”He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
4 The Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.”He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
