1“But they will never believe me or listen to what I say,” Moses protested; “they will say that it is untrue that the LORD appeared to me.”

2The LORD said, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” replied Moses.

3The LORD said, “Throw it on the ground.” He did so, and it turned into a snake. Moses drew back hastily,

4but the LORD said, “Put your hand out and seize it by the tail.” When he took hold of it, it turned back into a staff in his hand.

5“This”, said the LORD, “is to convince the people that the LORD the God of their forefathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, did appear to you.”

6Then the LORD said to him, “Put your hand inside the fold of your cloak.” He did so, and when he drew his hand out the skin was white as snow with disease.

7The LORD said, “Put your hand in again”; he did so, and when he drew it out this time it was as healthy as the rest of his body.

8“Now,” said the LORD, “if they do not believe you and do not accept the evidence of the first sign, they may be persuaded by the second.

9But if they are not convinced even by these two signs and will not accept what you say, then fetch some water from the Nile and pour it out on the dry land, and the water from the Nile will turn to blood on the ground.”

10“But, LORD,” Moses protested, “I have never been a man of ready speech, never in my life, not even now that you have spoken to me; I am slow and hesitant.”

11The LORD said to him, “Who is it that gives man speech? Who makes him dumb or deaf? Who makes him keen-sighted or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?

12Go now; I shall help you to speak and show you what to say.”

13Moses said, “Lord, send anyone else you like.”

14At this the LORD became angry with Moses: “Do you not have a brother, Aaron the Levite? He, I know, will do all the speaking. He is already on his way out to meet you, and he will be overjoyed when he sees you.

15You are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth; I shall help both of you to speak and tell you both what to do.

16He will do all the speaking to the people for you; he will be the mouthpiece, and you will be the god he speaks for.

17And take this staff in your hand; with it you are to work the signs.”

18Moses then went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said, “Let me return to Egypt and see whether my kinsfolk are still alive.” Jethro said, “Go, and may you have a safe journey.”

19THE LORD spoke to Moses in Midian. “Go back to Egypt,” he said, “for all those who wanted to kill you are now dead.”

20Moses took his wife and children, mounted them on a donkey, and set out for Egypt with the staff of God in his hand.

21The LORD said to Moses, “While you are on your way back to Egypt, keep in mind all the portents I have given you power to show. You are to display these before Pharaoh, but I shall make him obstinate and he will not let the people go.

22Then tell Pharaoh that these are the words of the LORD: Israel is my firstborn son.

23I tell you, let my son go to worship me. Should you refuse to let him go, I shall kill your firstborn son.”

24On the journey, while they were encamped for the night, the LORD met Moses and would have killed him,

25but Zipporah picked up a sharp flint, cut off her son's foreskin, and touched Moses' genitals with it, saying, “You are my blood-bridegroom.”

26So the LORD let Moses alone. It was on that occasion she said, “Blood-bridegroom by circumcision.”

27Meanwhile the LORD had ordered Aaron to go and meet Moses in the wilderness. Aaron did so; he met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.

28Moses told Aaron everything, the words the LORD had sent him to say and the signs he had commanded him to perform.

29Moses and Aaron then went and assembled all the elders of Israel.

30Aaron repeated to them everything that the LORD had said to Moses; he performed the signs before the people,

31and they were convinced. When they heard that the LORD had shown his concern for the Israelites and seen their misery, they bowed to the ground in worship.
