And Moses
answered
and said,
But, behold, they will not believe
me, nor hearken
unto my voice:
for they will say,
The LORD
hath not appeared
unto thee.
say
And the LORD
said
unto him, What is that in thine hand?
And he said,
A rod.
And he said,
Cast
it on the ground.
And he cast
it on the ground,
and it became a serpent;
and Moses
fled
from before
it.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Put forth
thine hand,
and take
it by the tail.
And he put forth
his hand,
and caught
it, and it became a rod
in his hand:

That they may believe
that the LORD
God
of their fathers,
the God
of Abraham,
the God
of Isaac,
and the God
of Jacob,
hath appeared
unto thee.
And the LORD
said
furthermore
unto him, Put
now thine hand
into thy bosom.
And he put
his hand
into his bosom:
and when he took
it out, behold, his hand
was leprous
as snow.
say
And he said,
Put
thine hand
into thy bosom
again.
And he put
his hand
into his bosom
again;
and plucked
it out of his bosom,
and, behold, it was turned again
as his other flesh.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe
thee, neither hearken
to the voice
of the first
sign,
that they will believe
the voice
of the latter
sign.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe
also these two
signs,
neither hearken
unto thy voice,
that thou shalt take
of the water
of the river,
and pour
it upon the dry
land: and the water
which thou takest
out of the river
shall become blood
upon the dry
land.
And Moses
said
unto the LORD,
O
my Lord,
I
am not eloquent,
neither heretofore,
nor since
thou hast spoken
unto thy servant:
but I am slow
of speech,
and of a slow
tongue.

And the LORD
said
unto him, Who hath made
man's
mouth?
or who maketh
the dumb,
or deaf,
or the seeing,
or the blind?
have not I the LORD?
Now therefore go,
and I will be with thy mouth,
and teach
thee what thou shalt say.
And he said,
O
my Lord,
send,
I pray thee, by the hand
of him whom thou wilt send.
And the anger
of the LORD
was kindled
against Moses,
and he said,
Is not Aaron
the Levite
thy brother?
I know
that he can speak
well.
And also, behold, he cometh forth
to meet
thee: and when he seeth
thee, he will be glad
in his heart.
say
And thou shalt speak
unto him, and put
words
in his mouth:
and I will be with thy mouth,
and with his mouth,
and will teach
you what ye shall do.
And he shall be thy spokesman
unto the people:
and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth,
and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
And thou shalt take
this rod
in thine hand,
wherewith thou shalt do
signs.
And Moses
went
and returned
to Jethro
his father in law,
and said
unto him, Let me go,
I pray thee, and return
unto my brethren
which are in Egypt,
and see
whether they be yet
alive.
And Jethro
said
to Moses,
Go
in peace.

Go,

And Moses
took
his wife
and his sons,
and set
them upon an ass,
and he returned
to the land
of Egypt:
and Moses
took
the rod
of God
in his hand.
And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
When thou goest
to return
into Egypt,
see
that thou do
all those wonders
before
Pharaoh,
which I have put
in thine hand:
but I will harden
his heart,
that he shall not let the people
go.
say
And thou shalt say
unto Pharaoh,
Thus saith
the LORD,
Israel
is my son,
even my firstborn:
And I say
unto thee, Let my son
go,
that he may serve
me: and if thou refuse
to let him go,
behold, I will slay
thy son,
even thy firstborn.
say
And it came to pass by the way
in the inn,
that the LORD
met
him, and sought
to kill
him.
Then Zipporah
took
a sharp stone,
and cut off
the foreskin
of her son,
and cast
it at his feet,
and said,
Surely a bloody
husband
art thou to me.

So he let him go:
then she said,
A bloody

thou art, because of the circumcision.
And the LORD
said
to Aaron,
Go
into the wilderness
to meet
Moses.
And he went,
and met
him in the mount
of God,
and kissed
him.
say
And Moses
told
Aaron
all the words
of the LORD
who had sent
him, and all the signs
which he had commanded
him.
And Moses
and Aaron
went
and gathered together
all the elders
of the children
of Israel:
And Aaron
spake
all the words
which the LORD
had spoken
unto Moses,
and did
the signs
in the sight
of the people.
And the people
believed:
and when they heard
that the LORD
had visited
the children
of Israel,
and that he had looked
upon their affliction,
then they bowed their heads
and worshipped.
