Exodus 4:1-21, 27-31
1Moses answered, What if they do not believe 
me or listen* to me and say, The LORD did not 
appear to you? 
2 Then the LORD said to him, What is that in your 
hand? 
A staff*, he replied.
3 The LORD said, Throw it on the ground. 
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a 
snake*, and he ran from it. 4 Then the LORD said to 
him, Reach out your hand* and take it by the 
tail. So Moses reached out and took hold of the 
snake and it turned back into a staff* in his hand.
5 This*, said the LORD, is so that they may 
believe* that the LORD, the God of their fathers 
the God of Abraham*, the God of Isaac* and the 
God of Jacob*has appeared to you.
6 Then the LORD said, Put your hand inside your 
cloak*. So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and 
when he took it out, the skin was leprousit had 
become as white* as snow.
7 Now put it back into your cloak*, he said. So 
Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when 
he took it out, it was restored*, like the rest of his 
flesh.8 Then the LORD said, If they do not believe 
you or pay attention to the first sign*, they may 
believe the second*.
9 But if they do 
not believe 
these two signs 
or listen* to 
you, take some 
water* from 
the Nile and 
pour* it on the 
dry ground*. 
The water you 
take from the 
river will 
become blood 
on the ground.
10 Moses said to the LORD*, Pardon your servant, 
Lord*. I have never been eloquent, neither in the 
past* nor since you have spoken to your servant. I 
am slow of speech and tongue*.
11 The LORD said to 
him, Who gave 
human beings their 
mouths*? Who makes 
them deaf* or mute? 
Who gives them sight* 
or makes them blind? 
Is it not I, the LORD? 
12 Now go; I will help 
you speak* and will 
teach* you what to 
say.
13 But Moses* said, Pardon your servant*, Lord. 
Please send someone else.14 Then the LORDs 
anger burned* against Moses and he said, What 
about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he 
can speak* well. He is already on his way to meet 
you, and he will be glad* to see you.
15 You shall speak* to him and put words* in his 
mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach 
you what to do. 16 He will speak to the people* for 
you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as 
if you were God to him.
17 But take this staff* in your hand so you can 
perform the signs with it.18 Then Moses went 
back to Jethro his father-in-law* and said to him, 
Let me return to my own people in Egypt* to see 
if any of them are still alive. 
Jethro said, Go, and I wish you well.
19 Now the LORD had said to Moses in Midian, 
Go* back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to 
kill you are dead. 20 So Moses took his wife and 
sons, put them on a donkey* and started back to 
Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.
21 The LORD said to Moses*, When you return to 
Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh* all 
the wonders I have given you the power to do. But 
I will harden his heart* so that he will not let the 
people go.
27 The LORD said to Aaron, Go into the 
wilderness* to meet Moses. So he met Moses at 
the mountain* of God and kissed him.
28 Then Moses told Aaron everything* the LORD 
had sent him to say, and also about all the signs 
he had commanded* him to perform.
29 Moses and Aaron brought together* all the 
elders of the Israelites, 30 and Aaron told them 
everything the LORD* had said to Moses. He also 
performed the signs* before the people,
31 and they believed. And when they heard* that 
the LORD was concerned* about them and had 
seen their misery, they bowed down and 
worshiped.
