1. And Moses answered and said, “But 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?”And he said, “A rod.”
3. He said, “Throw it on the ground.”And he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent. Then Moses fled from it.
4. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Put forth your hand and take it by the tail.” And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.
