1 Then Moses said, “What if they will not believe me or ^alisten ^{▼▼Lit to my voice}to what I say? For they may say, ‘ ^cThe Lord has not appeared to you.’” 2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “ ^dA staff.” 3 Then He said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and ^eit turned into a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4 But the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand and grasp it by its tail”--so he reached out with his hand and caught it, and it turned into a staff in his ^{▼▼Lit palm}hand-- 5 “so that ^gthey may believe that ^hthe Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
