Moses answered, "But,
behold,
they will
not believe me ,
nor
listen to my voice ;
for they will
say, 'Yahweh
has not appeared to you. '"
Then
Moses answered, “What
if
they do
not believe me or
listen to my voice ?
For they may
say, ‘The
LORD
has not appeared to you. ’”
Yahweh
said
to
him, "
What is that in your hand? "
He
said,
"
A rod
. "
And
the
LORD
asked
him, “
What is that in your hand? ”
“
A staff,”
he
replied
.
He
said,
"
Throw it on the ground. "
He
threw it on the ground, and it became a snake ;
and Moses
ran away
from it.
“
Throw it on the ground ,”
said
the
LORD
. So
Moses
threw it on the ground, and it became a snake ,
and he
ran from it.
Yahweh
said
to
Moses,
"Put
forth
your hand ,
and take
it by the tail ."
He
put
forth
his hand ,
and laid
hold
of
it
, and it became
a rod
in his hand.
“Stretch
out
your hand and grab
it by the tail ,”
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
who
reached
out
his hand and caught
the
snake
, and it turned
back
into
a staff
in his hand.
"
That they may believe that Yahweh
, the God of their fathers ,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ,
has appeared to you. "
“This
is
so
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. ”
Yahweh
said
furthermore to him
, "Now
put your hand inside your cloak. "
He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold,
his hand was leprous, as
white as snow.
Furthermore ,
the
LORD
said
to Moses
, “
Put your hand inside your cloak. ”
So
he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, his hand was leprous, white as snow.
He
said,
"
Put your hand inside your cloak again
. "
He
put his hand inside his cloak again
, and when he took it out of
his
cloak
, behold,
it had
turned
again
as
his other
flesh
.
“
Put your hand back
inside your cloak ,”
said
the
LORD
. So
Moses
put his hand back
inside his cloak, and when he took it out, it was
restored,
like
the
rest
of
his skin
.
"It
will
happen
, if they will
neither
believe you nor
listen
to
the voice
of the first sign, that
they will
believe the
voice
of the latter
sign
.
And
the
LORD
said
, “
If they refuse
to
believe you or
heed
the witness
of the first sign, they may
believe that
of the second
.
It
will
happen,
if they will
not believe even these two signs ,
neither
listen to your voice, that
you
shall
take of
the
water of
the river,
and pour it on the dry land
. The water which
you take out
of
the river
will become blood on the dry
land
. "
But
if they do
not believe even these two signs or
listen to your voice, take some
water from
the Nile
and pour it on the dry ground
. Then
the water you take from
the Nile
will become blood on the ground
. ”
Moses
said
to
Yahweh,
"Oh
, Lord, I am
not
eloquent, neither before
now,
nor since you have spoken to your servant ;
for I am slow of speech ,
and of
a
slow
tongue. "
“Please
, Lord, ”
Moses
replied,
“
I have
never
been
eloquent, neither in
the
past
nor since You have spoken to Your servant ,
for I am slow of speech and tongue. ”
Yahweh
said to him, "
Who made
man's
mouth? Or who makes one
mute ,
or deaf, or
seeing,
or blind? Isn't
it I, Yahweh
?
And
the
LORD
said to him, “
Who gave
man
his
mouth? Or who makes the
mute or the
deaf, the
sighted
or the
blind? Is
it not
I, the
LORD
?
Now therefore
go ,
and
I will be
with
your
mouth
, and teach you what you
shall
speak
. "
Now go !
I will help
you
as
you
speak
, and I
will
teach you what to
say
. ”
He
said
, "Oh
, Lord, please
send someone else. "
But
Moses
replied
, “Please
, Lord, send someone else. ”
The anger of Yahweh
was
kindled
against Moses, and he said, "What
about
Aaron ,
your
brother,
the Levite? I know that he can speak well .
Also
, behold,
he comes
forth
to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
Then
the anger of the
LORD
burned
against Moses, and He said, “Is
not
Aaron the Levite your
brother
? I know that he can speak well, and
he is
now
on
his
way
to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
You shall
speak to him ,
and put the words in his mouth. I will be
with
your
mouth,
and
with
his
mouth
, and will teach you what you
shall
do.
You are
to
speak to him and put the words in his mouth. I will help
both
of
you
to
speak
, and I
will teach you what to
do.
He will be
your
spokesman
to the people ;
and
it
will
happen,
that
he will be to
you
a
mouth
, and you
will be to
him
as God.
He will speak
to the people for
you.
He will be your
spokesman
, and it
will be as if
you
were
God to
him
.
You
shall
take this rod
in your hand ,
with
which
you shall
do
the
signs. "
But
take this staff
in your hand so
you can
perform
signs with
it
. ”
Moses went and
returned
to Jethro
his father-in-law ,
and said to him, "
Please let me go
and
return to my brothers who
are
in Egypt ,
and
see whether
they are still alive. "
Jethro
said
to
Moses,
"
Go in peace. "
Then
Moses went back
to his father-in-law Jethro
and said to him, “
Please let me return to my brothers in Egypt to
see if
they are still alive. ”
“
Go in peace ,”
Jethro
replied
.
Yahweh
said to Moses in Midian, "
Go ,
return
into
Egypt ;
for all the men who sought your
life
are dead. "
Now
the
LORD
had
said to Moses in Midian, “
Go back
to
Egypt ,
for all the men who sought to
kill
you
are dead. ”
Moses took his wife and his
sons, and
set
them on a donkey, and he
returned
to the
land
of
Egypt. Moses
took God's
rod
in his hand.
So
Moses took his wife and sons, put
them on a donkey, and headed
back
to Egypt. And
he
took the
staff
of
God
in his hand.
Yahweh
said
to
Moses, "
When you go back into
Egypt, see that you do
before Pharaoh all the wonders which
I have put in
your hand,
but I will harden his heart and
he will not let the people go.
The
LORD
instructed
Moses, “
When you go back to
Egypt, see that you perform
before Pharaoh all the wonders that
I have put within
your power.
But I will harden his heart so
that
he will not let the people go.
You
shall
tell Pharaoh ,
'Thus
says Yahweh,
Israel is my son,
my
firstborn,
Then
tell Pharaoh that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says :
‘
Israel is My firstborn son
,
and I have
said
to
you ,
"
Let my son go ,
that he may serve
me ;"
and
you have refused to let him go .
Behold, I will kill your son,
your
firstborn .'"
and I told
you to
let My son go so
that he may worship
Me .
But
since
you have refused to let him go ,
behold, I will kill your firstborn son!’”
It
happened
on
the
way
at a lodging place, that
Yahweh
met him
and wanted
to kill him.
Now
at a lodging place along
the
way
, the
LORD
met Moses
and was
about
to kill him.
Then
Zipporah took a flint, and
cut off the
foreskin
of
her son
, and cast
it at
his
feet ;
and
she
said,
"
Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me. "
But
Zipporah took a flint knife
, cut off her son’s
foreskin
, and touched
it to
Moses’
feet .
“
Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me ,”
she
said
.
So he
let him alone. Then
she said, "You
are
a
bridegroom of blood, "
because
of
the circumcision.
So the
LORD
let him alone. (When
she said, “
bridegroom of blood, ”
she
was
referring
to
the circumcision. )
Yahweh
said to Aaron, "
Go into
the
wilderness
to
meet Moses. "
He went ,
and met him
on
God's
mountain ,
and kissed him.
Meanwhile,
the
LORD
had
said to Aaron, “
Go and
meet Moses in
the
wilderness
. ”
So
he went and met Moses
at
the
mountain of
God
and kissed him.
Moses told Aaron all
the words
of
Yahweh
with
which
he
had sent him, and all the signs with
which

Moses told Aaron everything
the LORD
had sent him to
say
, and all the signs He had commanded
him to
perform
.
Moses and Aaron went and gathered
together
all the elders of the children
of
Israel.
Then

all the elders of the Israelites,
Aaron spoke
all
the words
which
Yahweh
had spoken
to Moses ,
and did
the signs in
the
sight
of
the people .

Aaron relayed
everything
the LORD
had said
to Moses .
And Moses
performed
the signs before
the people ,
The
people
believed ,
and when they heard that Yahweh
had visited
the children
of
Israel,
and that
he
had seen their affliction, then
they bowed their
heads
and worshiped.

they
believed .
