³ And he said, “Throw it onto the ground.” And he threw it onto the ground, and it became a snake, and Moses fled from it. ⁴ And Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and grasp it by its tail”—” (And he reached out his hand and grabbed it, and it became a staff in his palm.)— ⁵ “so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their ancestors,^[a] appeared to you, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”
