And he said, A rod. And he said, Castit on the ground. And he castit on the ground, and it becamea serpent; and Mosesfledfrom beforeit. And the LORDsaiduntoMoses, Put forththine hand, and takeit by the tail. And he put forthhis hand, and caughtit, and it becamea rodin his hand: Thatthey may believethatthe LORDGodof their fathers, the Godof Abraham, the Godof Isaac, and the Godof Jacob, hath appeareduntothee. And the LORDsaidfurthermoreunto him, Putnowthine handinto thy bosom. And he puthis handinto his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprousas snow. And he said, Putthine handintothy bosomagain. And he puthis handintohis bosomagain; and plucked it outof his bosom, and, behold, it was turned againas his other flesh. And it shall come to pass, ifthey will notbelievethee, neitherhearkento the voiceof the firstsign, that they will believethe voiceof the lattersign. And it shall come to pass, ifthey will notbelievealsothesetwosigns, neitherhearkenunto thy voice, that thou shalt takeof the waterof the river, and pour it upon the dry land : and the waterwhichthou takestout ofthe rivershall becomebloodupon the dry land . And Mosessaiduntothe LORD, Omy Lord, I am noteloquent, neitherheretofore, norsincethou hast spokenuntothy servant: butI am slowof speech, and of a slowtongue. And the LORDsaiduntohim, Whohath mademan's mouth? orwhomakeththe dumb, ordeaf, orthe seeing, orthe blind? have notIthe LORD? Nowtherefore go, and Iwill bewiththy mouth, and teachthee whatthou shalt say. And he said, Omy Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. And the angerof the LORDwas kindledagainst Moses, and he said, Is notAaronthe Levitethy brother? I knowthathecan speak well. And also, behold, hecometh forthto meetthee: and when he seeththee, he will be gladin his heart. And thou shalt speakuntohim, and putwordsin his mouth: and Iwill bewiththy mouth, and withhis mouth, and will teachyou whatye shall do. And heshall be thy spokesmanuntothe people: and he shall be, even heshall beto thee instead of a mouth, and thoushalt beto him instead of God. And thou shalt takethisrodin thine hand, wherewiththou shalt dosigns. And Moseswentand returnedtoJethrohis father-in-law, and saidunto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and returnuntomy brethrenwhich are in Egypt, and seewhether they be yetalive. And Jethrosaidto Moses, Goin peace. And the LORDsaiduntoMosesin Midian, Go, returninto Egypt: forallthe menare deadwhich soughtthy life. And Mosestookhis wifeand his sons, and setthem uponan ass, and he returnedto the landof Egypt: and Mosestookthe rodof Godin his hand. And the LORDsaiduntoMoses, When thou goestto returninto Egypt, seethat thou doallthose wondersbeforePharaoh, whichI have putin thine hand: but Iwill hardenhis heart, that he shall notlet the peoplego. And thou shalt sayuntoPharaoh, Thussaiththe LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I sayuntothee, Let my songo, that he may serveme: and if thou refuseto let him go, behold, Iwill slaythy son, even thy firstborn. And it came to passby the wayin the inn, that the LORDmethim, and soughtto killhim. Then Zipporahtooka sharp stone, and cut offthe foreskinof her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surelya bloodyhusband art thouto me. So he let him go: thenshe said, A bloodyhusband thou art , because of the circumcision. And the LORDsaidtoAaron, Gointo the wildernessto meetMoses. And he went, and methim in the mountof God, and kissedhim. And MosestoldAaronallthe wordsof the LORDwhohad senthim, and allthe signswhichhe had commandedhim. And Mosesand Aaronwentand gathered togetherallthe eldersof the childrenof Israel: And Aaronspokeallthe wordswhichthe LORDhad spokenuntoMoses, and didthe signsin the sightof the people.
