1 And Moses 4872 answered 6030 and said 559, But, behold, they will not believe 539 me, nor hearken 8085 unto my voice 6963: for they will say 559, The LORD 3068 hath not appeared 7200 unto thee.
2 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto him, What is that in thine hand 3027? And he said 559, A rod 4294.
3 And he said 559, Cast 7993 it on the ground 776. And he cast 7993 it on the ground 776, and it became a serpent 5175; and Moses 4872 fled 5127 from before 6440 it.
4 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, Put forth 7971 thine hand 3027, and take 270 it by the tail 2180. And he put forth 7971 his hand 3027, and caught 2388 it, and it became a rod 4294 in his hand 3709:
5 That they may believe 539 that the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers 1, the God 430 of Abraham 85, the God 430 of Isaac 3327, and the God 430 of Jacob 3290, hath appeared 7200 unto thee.
6 And the LORD 3068 said 559 furthermore 5750 unto him, Put 935 now thine hand 3027 into thy bosom 2436. And he put 935 his hand 3027 into his bosom 2436: and when he took 3318 it out, behold, his hand 3027 was leprous 6879 as snow 7950.
7 And he said 559, Put 7725 0 thine hand 3027 into thy bosom 2436 again 7725. And he put 7725 0 his hand 3027 into his bosom 2436 again 7725; and plucked 3318 it out of his bosom 2436, and, behold, it was turned again 7725 as his other flesh 1320.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe 539 thee, neither hearken 8085 to the voice 6963 of the first 7223 sign 226, that they will believe 539 the voice 6963 of the latter 314 sign 226.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe 539 also these two 8147 signs 226, neither hearken 8085 unto thy voice 6963, that thou shalt take 3947 of the water 4325 of the river 2975, and pour 8210 it upon the dry 3004 land: and the water 4325 which thou takest 3947 out of the river 2975 shall become blood 1818 upon the dry 3006 land.
10 And Moses 4872 said 559 unto the LORD 3068, O 994 my Lord 136, I 376 am not eloquent 1697, neither heretofore 8032 8543, nor since 227 thou hast spoken 1696 unto thy servant 5650: but I am slow 3515 of speech 6310, and of a slow 3515 tongue 3956.
11 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto him, Who hath made 7760 man's 120 mouth 6310? or who maketh 7760 the dumb 483, or deaf 2795, or the seeing 6493, or the blind 5787? have not I the LORD 3068?
12 Now therefore go 3212, and I will be with thy mouth 6310, and teach 3384 thee what thou shalt say 1696.
13 And he said 559, O 994 my Lord 136, send 7971, I pray thee, by the hand 3027 of him whom thou wilt send 7971.
14 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 against Moses 4872, and he said 559, Is not Aaron 175 the Levite 3881 thy brother 251? I know 3045 that he can speak 1696 well 1696. And also, behold, he cometh forth 3318 to meet 7125 thee: and when he seeth 7200 thee, he will be glad 8055 in his heart 3820.
15 And thou shalt speak 1696 unto him, and put 7760 words 1697 in his mouth 6310: and I will be with thy mouth 6310, and with his mouth 6310, and will teach 3384 you what ye shall do 6213.
16 And he shall be thy spokesman 1696 unto the people 5971: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth 6310, and thou shalt be to him instead of God 430.
17 And thou shalt take 3947 this rod 4294 in thine hand 3027, wherewith thou shalt do 6213 signs 226.
18 And Moses 4872 went 3212 and returned 7725 to Jethro 3500 his father in law 2859, and said 559 unto him, Let me go 3212, I pray thee, and return 7725 unto my brethren 251 which are in Egypt 4714, and see 7200 whether they be yet 5750 alive 2416. And Jethro 3503 said 559 to Moses 4872, Go 3212 in peace 7965.
19 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872 in Midian 4080, Go 3212, return 7725 into Egypt 4714: for all the men 582 are dead 4191 which sought 1245 thy life 5315.
20 And Moses 4872 took 3947 his wife 802 and his sons 1121, and set 7392 them upon an ass 2543, and he returned 7725 to the land 776 of Egypt 4714: and Moses 4872 took 3947 the rod 4294 of God 430 in his hand 3027.
21 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, When thou goest 3212 to return 7725 into Egypt 4714, see 7200 that thou do 6213 all those wonders 4159 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547, which I have put 7760 in thine hand 3027: but I will harden 2388 his heart 3820, that he shall not let the people 5971 go 7971.
22 And thou shalt say 559 unto Pharaoh 6547, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, Israel 3478 is my son 1121, even my firstborn 1060:
23 And I say 559 unto thee, Let my son 1121 go 7971, that he may serve 5647 me: and if thou refuse 3985 to let him go 7971, behold, I will slay 2026 thy son 1121, even thy firstborn 1060.
24 And it came to pass by the way 1870 in the inn 4411, that the LORD 3068 met 6298 him, and sought 1245 to kill 4191 him.
25 Then Zipporah 6855 took 3947 a sharp stone 6864, and cut off 3772 the foreskin 6190 of her son 1121, and cast 5060 it at his feet 7272, and said 559, Surely a bloody 1818 husband 2860 art thou to me.
26 So he let him go 7503: then she said 559, A bloody 1818 husband 2860 thou art, because of the circumcision 4139.
27 And the LORD 3068 said 559 to Aaron 175, Go 3212 into the wilderness 4057 to meet 7125 Moses 4872. And he went 3212, and met 6298 him in the mount 2022 of God 430, and kissed 5401 him.
28 And Moses 4872 told 5046 Aaron 175 all the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 who had sent 7971 him, and all the signs 226 which he had commanded 6680 him.
29 And Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went 3212 and gathered together 622 all the elders 2205 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478:
30 And Aaron 175 spake 1696 all the words 1697 which the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 unto Moses 4872, and did 6213 the signs 226 in the sight 5869 of the people 5971.
31 And the people 5971 believed 539: and when they heard 8085 that the LORD 3068 had visited 6485 the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and that he had looked 7200 upon their affliction 6040, then they bowed their heads 6915 and worshipped 7812.
