Exodus 4:4 ASV

²  And Jehovah said unto him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.

³  And he said, Cast in on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

⁴  And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail: (and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand:)

⁵  That they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

⁶  And Jehovah said furthermore unto him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as 'white as' snow.
