New Testament

Exodus 4:6-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. In addition the Lord said to him, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, his hand was diseased, white as snow.

7. Then He said, “Put your hand back inside your cloak.” He put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, it had again become like the rest of his skin.

8. “If they will not believe you and will not respond to the evidence of the first sign, they may believe the evidence of the second sign.

9. And if they don’t believe even these two signs or listen to what you say, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.”

10. But Moses replied to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent — either in the past or recently or since You have been speaking to Your servant — because I am slow and hesitant in speech.”

11. Yahweh said to him, “Who made the human mouth? Who makes him mute or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?

12. Now go! I will help you speak and I will teach you what to say.”

13. Moses said, “Please, Lord, send someone else.”
