Exodus 4:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 "But," objected Moses, "suppose they will not believe me, nor listen to my plea? For they may say, 'The LORD did not appear to you.'"
2 The LORD therefore asked him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he answered.
3 The LORD then said, "Throw it on the ground." When he threw it on the ground it was changed into a serpent, and Moses shied away from it.
4 "Now, put out your hand," the LORD said to him, "and take hold of its tail." So he put out his hand and laid hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand.
5 "This will take place so that they may believe," he continued, "that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, did appear to you."
6 Again the LORD said to him, "Put your hand in your bosom." He put it in his bosom, and when he withdrew it, to his surprise his hand was leprous, like snow.
7 The LORD then said, "Now, put your hand back in your bosom." Moses put his hand back in his bosom, and when he withdrew it, to his surprise it was again like the rest of his body.
8 "If they will not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, they should believe the message of the second.
9 And if they will not believe even these two signs, nor heed your plea, take some water from the river and pour it on the dry land. The water you take from the river will become blood on the dry land."
10 Moses, however, said to the LORD, "If you please, LORD, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past, nor recently, nor now that you have spoken to your servant; but I am slow of speech and tongue."
11 The LORD said to him, "Who gives one man speech and makes another deaf and dumb? Or who gives sight to one and makes another blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
12 Go, then! It is I who will assist you in speaking and will teach you what you are to say."
13 Yet he insisted, "If you please, Lord, send someone else!"
14 Then the LORD became angry with Moses and said, "Have you not your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know that he is an eloquent speaker. Besides, he is now on his way to meet you.
15 When he sees you, his heart will be glad. You are to speak to him, then, and put the words in his mouth. I will assist both you and him in speaking and will teach the two of you what you are to do.
16 He shall speak to the people for you: he shall be your spokesman, and you shall be as God to him.
17 Take this staff in your hand; with it you are to perform the signs."
18 After this Moses returned to his father-in-law Jethro and said to him, "Let me go back, please, to my kinsmen in Egypt, to see whether they are still living." Jethro replied, "Go in peace."
19 In Midian the LORD said to Moses, "Go back to Egypt, for all the men who sought your life are dead."
20 So Moses took his wife and his sons, and started back to the land of Egypt, with them riding the ass. The staff of God he carried with him.
21 The LORD said to him, "On your return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have put in your power. I will make him obstinate, however, so that he will not let the people go.
22 So you shall say to Pharaoh: Thus says the LORD: Israel is my son, my first-born.
23 Hence I tell you: Let my son go, that he may serve me. If you refuse to let him go, I warn you, I will kill your son, your first-born."
24 On the journey, at a place where they spent the night, the Lord came upon Moses and would have killed him.
25 But Zipporah took a piece of flint and cut off her son's foreskin and, touching his person, she said, "You are a spouse of blood to me."
26 Then God let Moses go. At that time she said, "A spouse of blood," in regard to the circumcision.
27 The LORD said to Aaron, "Go into the desert to meet Moses." So he went, and when they met at the mountain of God, Aaron kissed him.
28 Moses informed him of all the LORD had said in sending him, and of the various signs he had enjoined upon him.
29 Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the Israelites.
30 Aaron told them everything the LORD had said to Moses, and he performed the signs before the people.
31 The people believed, and when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their affliction, they bowed down in worship.

7 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Put H7725 VHFA thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS into H413 PREP thy bosom H2436 again . And he put H7725 W-VHY3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS into H413 PREP his bosom H2436 again ; and plucked it out H3318 of his bosom H2436 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , it was turned again H7725 as his other flesh H1320 .
8 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , if H518 PART they will not H3808 NADV believe H539 VHY3MP thee , neither H3808 W-NADV hearken H8085 VQY3MP to the voice H6963 of the first H7223 sign H226 , that they will believe H539 the voice H6963 of the latter H314 sign H226 .
9 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , if H518 PART they will not H3808 NADV believe H539 VHY3MP also H1571 CONJ these H428 D-DPRO-3MP two H8147 signs H226 , neither H3808 W-NADV hearken H8085 unto thy voice H6963 , that thou shalt take H3947 of the water H4325 D-CMS of the river H2975 , and pour H8210 it upon the dry H3004 D-NFS land : and the water H4325 D-CMS which H834 RPRO thou takest H3947 VQY2MS out of H4480 PREP the river H2975 shall become H1961 W-VQQ3MS blood H1818 L-NMS upon the dry H3006 land .
10 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , O H994 my Lord H136 EDS , I H595 PPRO-1MS am not H3808 NADV eloquent H1697 NMP , neither H1571 CONJ heretofore H8543 , nor H1571 CONJ since H227 thou hast spoken H1696 unto H413 PREP thy servant H5650 : but H3588 CONJ I H595 PPRO-1MS am slow H3515 of speech H6310 , and of a slow H3515 tongue H3956 NMS .
11 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Who H4310 IPRO hath made H7760 VQQ3MS man H120 LD-NMS \'s mouth H6310 ? or H176 CONJ who H4310 IPRO maketh H7760 the dumb H483 , or H176 CONJ deaf H2795 , or H176 CONJ the seeing H6493 , or H176 CONJ the blind H5787 ? have not H3808 I-NADV I H595 PPRO-1MS the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ?

21 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , When thou goest H1980 to return H7725 into Egypt H4714 TFS-3FS , see H7200 VQI2MS that thou do H6213 all H3605 NMS those wonders H4159 before H6440 L-CMP Pharaoh H6547 EMS , which H834 RPRO I have put H7760 VQQ1MS in thine hand H3027 B-CFS-2MS : but I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will harden H2388 his heart H3820 CMS-3MS , that he shall not H3808 W-NPAR let the people H5971 D-NMS go H7971 .
22 And thou shalt say H559 unto H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Israel H3478 LMS is my son H1121 NMS-1MS , even my firstborn H1060 :
