1 Then Moses answered, “But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’” 2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, ^b“A staff.” 3 And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it. 4 But the Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it by the tail”—so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand— 5 “that they may ^cbelieve that the Lord, ^dthe God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” 6 Again, the Lord said to him, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” ^{▼▼Hebrew into your bosom; also verse 7} And he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was ^fleprous ^{▼▼Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases; see Leviticus 13} like snow. 7 Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your cloak.” So he put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, ^hit was restored like the rest of his flesh. 8 “If they will not believe you,” God said, “or listen to the first sign, they may believe the latter sign. 9 If they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and the water that you shall take from the Nile ⁱwill become blood on the dry ground.”

Judges 7:13-15

13 When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.” 14 And his comrade answered, “This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given into his hand Midian and all the camp.”

15 As soon as Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped. And he returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the Lord has given the host of Midian into your hand.”

1 Samuel 6:7-9

7 Now then, take and prepare ^ma new cart and two milk cows ⁿon which there has never come a yoke, and yoke the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them. 8 And take the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart and put in a box at its side ^othe figures of gold, which you are returning to him as ^pa guilt offering. Then send it off and let it go its way 9 and watch. If it goes up on the way to its own land, to ^qBeth-shemesh, then it is he who has done us this great harm, but if not, then we shall know that it is not ^rhis hand that struck us; it happened to us by coincidence.”

1 Samuel 10:2-10

2 When you depart from me today, you will meet two men by ^sRachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, ^t‘The donkeys that you went to seek are found, and now ^uyour father has ceased to care about the donkeys and is anxious about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’ 3 Then you shall go on from there farther and come to the ^voak of Tabor. Three men ^wgoing up ^xto God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine. 4 And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall accept from their hand. 5 After that you shall come to ^yGibeath-elohim, ^{▼▼ Gibeath-elohim means the hill of God} ^aawhere there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down ^abfrom the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying. 6 ^acThen the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, ^adand you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. 7 Now when ^aethese signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, ^affor God is with you. 8 Then go down before me ^agto Gilgal. And behold, I am coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and ^ahto sacrifice peace offerings. ^aiSeven days you shall wait, until I come to you and show you what you shall do.”

9 When he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all these signs came to pass that day. 10 When they came to ^ajGibeah, ^{▼▼ Gibeah means the hill} behold, a group of prophets met him, ^aland the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them.
