Exodus 4:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”

When Moses threw it on the ground, it became a snake, and he ran away from it.

⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out and grab the snake by its tail.” He reached out and grabbed it, and it turned back into a staff as he held it. ⁵ ⌞The Lord explained,⌟ “This is to convince the people that the Lord God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, appeared to you.”
