4:1 Then
Moses
answered,
"But
behold,
they
will
not
believe
me
or
listen
to
my
voice,
for
they
will
say,
'The
LORD
did
not
appear
to
you.'"
4:2 The
LORD
said
to
him,
"What
is
that
in
your
hand"
He
said,
"A
staff."
4:3 And
he
said,
"Throw
it
on
the
ground."
So
he
threw
it
on
the
ground,
and
it
became
a
serpent,
and
Moses
ran
from
it.
4:4 But
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"Put
out
your
hand
and
catch
it
by
the
tail"--so
he
put
out
his
hand
and
caught
it,
and
it
became
a
staff
in
his
hand--
4:5 "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."
4:6 Again,
the
LORD
said
to
him,
"Put
your
hand
inside
your
cloak."
And
he
put
his
hand
inside
his
cloak,
and
when
he
took
it
out,
behold,
his
hand
was
leprous
like
snow.
4:7 Then
God
said,
"Put
your
hand
back
inside
your
cloak."
So
he
put
his
hand
back
inside
his
cloak,
and
when
he
took
it
out,
behold,
it
was
restored
like
the
rest
of
his
flesh.
4:8 "If
they
will
not
believe
you,"
God
said,
"or
listen
to
the
first
sign,
they
may
believe
the
latter
sign.
4:9 If
they
will
not
believe
even
these
two
signs
or
listen
to
your
voice,
you
shall
take
some
water
from
the
Nile
and
pour
it
on
the
dry
ground,
and
the
water
that
you
shall
take
from
the
Nile
will
become
blood
on
the
dry
ground."
4:10 But
Moses
said
to
the
LORD,
"Oh,
my
Lord,
I
am
not
eloquent,
either
in
the
past
or
since
you
have
spoken
to
your
servant,
but
I
am
slow
of
speech
and
of
tongue."
4:11 Then
the
LORD
said
to
him,
"Who
has
made
man's
mouth
Who
makes
him
mute,
or
deaf,
or
seeing,
or
blind
Is
it
not
I,
the
LORD
4:12 Now
therefore
go,
and
I
will
be
with
your
mouth
and
teach
you
what
you
shall
speak."
4:13 But
he
said,
"Oh,
my
Lord,
please
send
someone
else."
4:14 Then
the
anger
of
the
LORD
was
kindled
against
Moses
and
he
said,
"Is
there
not
Aaron,
your
brother,
the
Levite
I
know
that
he
can
speak
well.
Behold,
he
is
coming
out
to
meet
you,
and
when
he
sees
you,
he
will
be
glad
in
his
heart.
4:15 You
shall
speak
to
him
and
put
the
words
in
his
mouth,
and
I
will
be
with
your
mouth
and
with
his
mouth
and
will
teach
you
both
what
to
do.
4:16 He
shall
speak
for
you
to
the
people,
and
he
shall
be
your
mouth,
and
you
shall
be
as
God
to
him.
4:17 And
take
in
your
hand
this
staff,
with
which
you
shall
do
the
signs."
4:18 Moses
went
back
to
Jethro
his
father-in-law
and
said
to
him,
"Please
let
me
go
back
to
my
brothers
in
Egypt
to
see
whether
they
are
still
alive."
And
Jethro
said
to
Moses,
"Go
in
peace."
4:19 And
the
LORD
said
to
Moses
in
Midian,
"Go
back
to
Egypt,
for
all
the
men
who
were
seeking
your
life
are
dead."
4:20 So
Moses
took
his
wife
and
his
sons
and
had
them
ride
on
a
donkey,
and
went
back
to
the
land
of
Egypt.
And
Moses
took
the
staff
of
God
in
his
hand.
4:21 And
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"When
you
go
back
to
Egypt,
see
that
you
do
before
Pharaoh
all
the
miracles
that
I
have
put
in
your
power.
But
I
will
harden
his
heart,
so
that
he
will
not
let
the
people
go.
4:22 Then
you
shall
say
to
Pharaoh,
'Thus
says
the
LORD,
Israel
is
my
firstborn
son,
4:23 and
I
say
to
you,
"Let
my
son
go
that
he
may
serve
me."
If
you
refuse
to
let
him
go,
behold,
I
will
kill
your
firstborn
son.'"
4:24 At
a
lodging
place
on
the
way
the
LORD
met
him
and
sought
to
put
him
to
death.
4:25 Then
Zipporah
took
a
flint
and
cut
off
her
son's
foreskin
and
touched
Moses'
feet
with
it
and
said,
"Surely
you
are
a
bridegroom
of
blood
to
me!"
4:26 So
he
let
him
alone.
It
was
then
that
she
said,
"A
bridegroom
of
blood,"
because
of
the
circumcision.
4:27 The
LORD
said
to
Aaron,
"Go
into
the
wilderness
to
meet
Moses."
So
he
went
and
met
him
at
the
mountain
of
God
and
kissed
him.
4:28 And
Moses
told
Aaron
all
the
words
of
the
LORD
with
which
he
had
sent
him
to
speak,
and
all
the
signs
that
he
had
commanded
him
to
do.
4:29 Then
Moses
and
Aaron
went
and
gathered
together
all
the
elders
of
the
people
of
Israel.
4:30 Aaron
spoke
all
the
words
that
the
LORD
had
spoken
to
Moses
and
did
the
signs
in
the
sight
of
the
people.
4:31 And
the
people
believed;
and
when
they
heard
that
the
LORD
had
visited
the
people
of
Israel
and
that
he
had
seen
their
affliction,
they
bowed
their
heads
and
worshiped.
