Exodus 4:3-5

Good News Translation

³ The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” When Moses threw it down, it turned into a snake, and he ran away from it. ⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach down and pick it up by the tail.” So Moses reached down and caught it, and it became a walking stick again. ⁵ The Lord said, “Do this to prove to the Israelites that the Lord, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has appeared to you.”
