Exodus 4:3 BBE

¹  And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.

²  And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

³  And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.

⁴  And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand:)

⁵  So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.
