02_EXO_04_01 And Moses answered and said , But , behold , they will not believe me , nor hearken unto my voice : for they will say , The LORD hath not appeared unto thee .
02_EXO_04_02 And the LORD said unto him , What [ is ] that in thine hand ? And he said , A rod .
02_EXO_04_03 And he said , Cast it on the ground . And he cast it on the ground , and it became a serpent ; and Moses fled from before it .
02_EXO_04_04 And the LORD said unto Moses , Put forth thine hand , and take it by the tail . And he put forth his hand , and caught it , and it became a rod in his hand :
02_EXO_04_05 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers , the God of Abraham , the God of Isaac , and the God of Jacob , hath appeared unto thee .
02_EXO_04_06 And the LORD said furthermore unto him , Put now thine hand into thy bosom . And he put his hand into his bosom : and when he took it out , behold , his hand [ was ] leprous as snow .
02_EXO_04_07 And he said , Put thine hand into thy bosom again . And he put his hand into his bosom again ; and plucked it out of his bosom , and , behold , it was turned again as his [ other ] flesh .
02_EXO_04_08 And it shall come to pass , if they will not believe thee , neither hearken to the voice of the first sign , that they will believe the voice of the latter sign .
02_EXO_04_09 And it shall come to pass , if they will not believe also these two signs , neither hearken unto thy voice , that thou shalt take of the water of the river , and pour [ it ] upon the dry [ land ] : and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [ land ] .
02_EXO_04_10 And Moses said unto the LORD , O my Lord , I [ am ] not eloquent , neither heretofore , nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant : but I [ am ] slow of speech , and of a slow tongue .
02_EXO_04_11 And the LORD said unto him , Who hath made man's mouth ? or who maketh the dumb , or deaf , or the seeing , or the blind ? have not I the LORD ?
02_EXO_04_12 Now therefore go , and I will be with thy mouth , and teach thee what thou shalt say .
02_EXO_04_13 And he said , O my Lord , send , I pray thee , by the hand [ of him whom ] thou wilt send .
02_EXO_04_14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses , and he said , [ Is ] not Aaron the Levite thy brother ? I know that he can speak well . And also , behold , he cometh forth to meet thee : and when he seeth thee , he will be glad in his heart .
02_EXO_04_15 And thou shalt speak unto him , and put words in his mouth : and I will be with thy mouth , and with his mouth , and will teach you what ye shall do .
02_EXO_04_16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people : and he shall be , [ even ] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth , and thou shalt be to him instead of God .
02_EXO_04_17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand , wherewith thou shalt do signs .
02_EXO_04_18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law , and said unto him , Let me go , I pray thee , and return unto my brethren which [ are ] in Egypt , and see whether they be yet alive . And Jethro said to Moses , Go in peace .
02_EXO_04_19 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian , Go , return into Egypt : for all the men are dead which sought thy life .
02_EXO_04_20 And Moses took his wife and his sons , and set them upon an ass , and he returned to the land of Egypt : and Moses took the rod of God in his hand .
02_EXO_04_21 And the LORD said unto Moses , When thou goest to return into Egypt , see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh , which I have put in thine hand : but I will harden his heart , that he shall not let the people go .
02_EXO_04_22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh , Thus saith the LORD , Israel [ is ] my son , [ even ] my firstborn :
02_EXO_04_23 And I say unto thee , Let my son go , that he may serve me : and if thou refuse to let him go , behold , I will slay thy son , [ even ] thy firstborn .
02_EXO_04_24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn , that the LORD met him , and sought to kill him .
02_EXO_04_25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone , and cut off the foreskin of her son , and cast [ it ] at his feet , and said , Surely a bloody husband [ art ] thou to me .
02_EXO_04_26 So he let him go : then she said , A bloody husband [ thou art ] , because of the circumcision .
02_EXO_04_27 And the LORD said to Aaron , Go into the wilderness to meet Moses . And he went , and met him in the mount of God , and kissed him .
02_EXO_04_28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him , and all the signs which he had commanded him .
02_EXO_04_29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel :
02_EXO_04_30 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses , and did the signs in the sight of the people .
02_EXO_04_31 And the people believed : and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel , and that he had looked upon their affliction , then they bowed their heads and worshipped .
