And Moses⁴⁸⁷² answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ But, behold, they will not believe⁵³⁹ me, nor hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto my voice:⁶⁹⁶³ for they will say,⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ hath not appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto thee.

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, What is that in thine hand?³⁰²⁷ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ A rod.⁴²⁹⁴

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Cast⁷⁹⁹³ it on the ground.⁷⁷⁶ And he cast⁷⁹⁹³ it on the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and it became a serpent;⁵¹⁷⁵ and Moses⁴⁸⁷² fled⁵¹²⁷ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ it.

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Put forth⁷⁹⁷¹ thine hand,³⁰²⁷ and take²⁷⁰ it by the tail.²¹⁸⁰ And he put forth⁷⁹⁷¹ his hand,³⁰²⁷ and caught²³⁸⁸ it, and it became a rod⁴²⁹⁴ in his hand:³⁷⁰⁹

That they may believe⁵³⁹ that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ the Elohim⁴³⁰ of Abraham,⁸⁵ the Elohim⁴³⁰ of Isaac,³³²⁷ and the Elohim⁴³⁰ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ hath appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto thee.

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ furthermore⁵⁷⁵⁰ unto him, Put⁹³⁵ now thine hand³⁰²⁷ into thy bosom.²⁴³⁶ And he put⁹³⁵ his hand³⁰²⁷ into his bosom:²⁴³⁶ and when he took it out,³³¹⁸ behold, his hand³⁰²⁷ was leprous⁶⁸⁷⁹ as snow.⁷⁹⁵⁰

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Put thine hand³⁰²⁷ into thy bosom²⁴³⁶ again.⁷⁷²⁵ And he put his hand³⁰²⁷ into his bosom²⁴³⁶ again;⁷⁷²⁵ and plucked it out³³¹⁸ of his bosom,²⁴³⁶ and, behold, it was turned⁷⁷²⁵ again as his other flesh.¹³²⁰

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe⁵³⁹ thee, neither hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ to the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the first⁷²²³ sign,²²⁶ that they will believe⁵³⁹ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the latter³¹⁴ sign.²²⁶

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe⁵³⁹ also these two⁸¹⁴⁷ signs,²²⁶ neither hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto thy voice,⁶⁹⁶³ that thou shalt take³⁹⁴⁷ of the water⁴³²⁵ of the river,²⁹⁷⁵ and pour⁸²¹⁰ it upon the dry³⁰⁰⁴ land: and the water⁴³²⁵ which thou takest³⁹⁴⁷ out of the river²⁹⁷⁵ shall become blood¹⁸¹⁸ upon the dry³⁰⁰⁶ land.

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ O⁹⁹⁴ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ I³⁷⁶ am not eloquent,¹⁶⁹⁷ neither heretofore,⁸⁰³² nor since²²⁷ thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thy servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰ but I am slow³⁵¹⁵ of speech,⁶³¹⁰ and of a slow³⁵¹⁵ tongue.³⁹⁵⁶

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Who hath made⁷⁷⁶⁰ man's¹²⁰ mouth?⁶³¹⁰ or who maketh⁷⁷⁶⁰ the dumb,⁴⁸³ or deaf,²⁷⁹⁵ or the seeing,⁶⁴⁹³ or the blind?⁵⁷⁸⁷ have not I Yahweh?³⁰⁶⁸

Now therefore go,³²¹² and I will be with thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and teach³³⁸⁴ thee what thou shalt say.¹⁶⁹⁶

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ O⁹⁹⁴ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ send,⁷⁹⁷¹ I pray thee, by the hand³⁰²⁷ of him whom thou wilt send.⁷⁹⁷¹

And the anger⁶³⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Is not Aaron¹⁷⁵ the Levite³⁸⁸¹ thy brother?²⁵¹ I know³⁰⁴⁵ that he can speak¹⁶⁹⁶ well.¹⁶⁹⁶ And also, behold, he cometh forth³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ thee: and when he seeth⁷²⁰⁰ thee, he will be glad⁸⁰⁵⁵ in his heart.³⁸²⁰

And thou shalt speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him, and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ words¹⁶⁹⁷ in his mouth:⁶³¹⁰ and I will be with thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and with his mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and will teach³³⁸⁴ you what ye shall do.⁶²¹³

And he shall be thy spokesman¹⁶⁹⁶ 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 Elohim.⁴³⁰

And thou shalt take³⁹⁴⁷ this rod⁴²⁹⁴ in thine hand,³⁰²⁷ wherewith thou shalt do⁶²¹³ signs.²²⁶

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² went³²¹² and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jethro³⁵⁰⁰ his father in law,²⁸⁵⁹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Let me go,³²¹² I pray thee, and return⁷⁷²⁵ unto my brethren²⁵¹ which are in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and see⁷²⁰⁰ whether they be yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ alive.²⁴¹⁶ And Jethro³⁵⁰³ said⁵⁵⁹ to Moses,⁴⁸⁷² Go³²¹² in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses⁴⁸⁷² in Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ Go,³²¹² return⁷⁷²⁵ into Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ for all the men⁵⁸² are dead⁴¹⁹¹ which sought¹²⁴⁵ thy life.⁵³¹⁵

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² took³⁹⁴⁷ his wife⁸⁰² and his sons,¹¹²¹ and set⁷³⁹² them upon a donkey,²⁵⁴³ and he returned⁷⁷²⁵ to the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ and Moses⁴⁸⁷² took³⁹⁴⁷ the rod⁴²⁹⁴ of Elohim⁴³⁰ in his hand.³⁰²⁷

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² When thou goest³²¹² to return⁷⁷²⁵ into Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ see⁷²⁰⁰ that thou do⁶²¹³ all those wonders⁴¹⁵⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ which I have put⁷⁷⁶⁰ in thine hand:³⁰²⁷ but I will harden²³⁸⁸ his heart,³⁸²⁰ that he shall not let the people⁵⁹⁷¹ go.⁷⁹⁷¹

Proverbs 29:1-2; Proverbs 21:29; Proverbs 28:14

And thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ is my son,¹¹²¹ even my firstborn:¹⁰⁶⁰

Jeremiah 31:9

And I say⁵⁵⁹ unto thee, Let my son¹¹²¹ go,⁷⁹⁷¹ that he may serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ me: and if thou refuse³⁹⁸⁵ to let him go,⁷⁹⁷¹ behold, I will slay²⁰²⁶ thy son,¹¹²¹ even thy firstborn.¹⁰⁶⁰

And it came to pass by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ in the inn,⁴⁴¹¹ that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ met⁶²⁹⁸ him, and sought¹²⁴⁵ to kill⁴¹⁹¹ him.

Then Zipporah⁶⁸⁵⁵ took³⁹⁴⁷ a sharp stone,⁶⁸⁶⁴ and cut off³⁷⁷² the foreskin⁶¹⁹⁰ of her son,¹¹²¹ and cast⁵⁰⁶⁰ it at his feet,⁷²⁷² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely a bloody¹⁸¹⁸ husband²⁸⁶⁰ art thou to me.

So he let him go:⁷⁵⁰³ then she said,⁵⁵⁹ A bloody¹⁸¹⁸ husband²⁸⁶⁰ thou art, because of the circumcision.⁴¹³⁹

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to Aaron,¹⁷⁵ Go³²¹² into the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ to meet⁷¹²⁵ Moses.⁴⁸⁷² And he went,³²¹² and met⁶²⁹⁸ him in the mount²⁰²² of Elohim,⁴³⁰ and kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ him.

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Aaron¹⁷⁵ all the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ who had sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him, and all the signs²²⁶ which he had commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him.

And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ went³²¹² and gathered⁶²² together all the elders²²⁰⁵ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸

And Aaron¹⁷⁵ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ all the words¹⁶⁹⁷ which Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ had spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto Moses,⁴⁸⁷² and did⁶²¹³ the signs²²⁶ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ believed:⁵³⁹ and when they heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ had visited⁶⁴⁸⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that he had looked⁷²⁰⁰ upon their affliction,⁶⁰⁴⁰ then they bowed their heads⁶⁹¹⁵ and worshipped.⁷⁸¹²
