4Then Moses answered and said, “What if they will not believe me and will not alisten to my voice? For they may say, ‘bYahweh has not appeared to you.’” 2And Yahweh said to him, “What is this in your hand?” And he said, “aA staff.” 3Then He said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and ait became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail”—so he stretched out his hand and took hold of it, and it became a staff in his 1hand— 5“that athey may believe that bYahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
