1 Mosesasked the Lord, "Suppose everyone refuses to listen to my message, and no one believes that you really appeared to me?"
2 The Lordanswered, "What’s that in your hand?"
"A walking stick," Moses replied.
3 "Throw it down!" the Lordcommanded. So Mosesthrew the stick on the ground. It immediately turned into a snake, and Mosesjumped back.
4 "Pick it up by the tail!" the Lordtold him. And when Mosesdid this, the snake turned back into a walking stick.
5 "Do this," the Lordsaid, "and the Israelites will believe that you have seen me, the God who was worshiped by their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
6 Next, the Lordcommanded Moses, "Put your hand inside your shirt." Moses obeyed, and when he took it out, his hand had turned white as snow—like someone with leprosy.4.6 leprosy: The word translated "leprosy" was used for many different kinds of skin diseases.
7 "Put your hand back inside your shirt," the Lordtold him. Moses did so, and when he took it out again, it was as healthy as the rest of his body.
8,9 Then the Lordsaid, "If no one believes either of these miracles, take some water from the Nile Riverand pour it on the ground. The water will immediately turn into blood."
10 Mosesreplied, "I have never been a good speaker. I wasn’t one before you spoke to me, and I’m not one now. I am slow at speaking, and I can never think of what to say."
11 But the Lordanswered, "Who makes people able to speak or makes them deaf or unable to speak? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Don’t you know that I am the one who does these things? 12 Now go! When you speak, I will be with you and give you the words to say."
13 Moses begged, "Lord, please send someone else to do it."
14 The Lordbecame angry with Mosesand said:
What about your brother Aaron, the Levite? I know he is a good speaker. He is already on his way here to visit you, and he will be happy to see you again. 15,16 Aaron will speak to the people for you, and you will be like me, telling Aaron what to say. I will be with both of you as you speak, and I will tell each of you what to do. 17 Now take this walking stick and use it to perform miracles.
Moses Returns to Egypt
18 Moseswent to his father-in-law Jethroand asked, "Please let me return to Egyptto see if any of my people are still alive."
"All right," Jethroreplied. "I hope all goes well."
19 But even before this, the Lordhad told Moses, "Leave the land of Midianand return to Egypt. Everyone who wanted to kill you is now dead." 20 So Mosesput his wife and sons on donkeys and headed for Egypt, holding the walking stick that had the power of God.
21 On the way the Lordsaid to Moses:
When you get to Egypt, go to the king and work the miracles I have shown you. But I will make him so stubborn that he will refuse to let my people go. 22 Then tell him that I have said, "Israelis my first-born son, 23 Ex 12.29.and I commanded you to release him, so he could worship me. But you refused, and now I will kill your first-born son."
Zipporah’s Son Is Circumcised
24 One night while Moses was in camp, the Lordwas about to kill him. 25 But Zipporah4.25 Zipporah: The wife of Moses (see 2.16-21).circumcised her son with a flint knife. She touched his4.25 his: Either Moses or the boy.legs with the skin she had cut off and said, "My dear son, this blood will protect you."4.25 My dear son … you: Or "My dear husband, you are a man of blood" (meaning Moses).26 So the Lorddid not harm Moses. Then Zipporah said, "Yes, my dear, you are safe because of this circumcision."4.26 you are … circumcision: Or "you are a man of blood."
Aaron Is Sent To Meet Moses
27 The Lordsent Aaronto meet Mosesin the desert. So Aaronmet Mosesat Mount Sinai4.27 Mount Sinai: Hebrew "the mountain of God."and greeted him with a kiss. 28 Mosestold Aaronwhat God had sent him to say; he also told him about the miracles God had given him the power to perform.
29 Later they brought together the leaders of Israel, 30 and Aarontold them what the Lordhad sent Mosesto say. Then Mosesworked the miracles for the people, 31 and everyone believed. They bowed down and worshiped the Lordbecause they knew that he had seen their suffering and was going to help them.
