Exodus 4:1 WBT

¹  And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken to my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared to thee.

²  And the LORD said to him, What [is] that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.

³  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.
