Exodus 4:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

4 “They will never believe me or listen to me!” Moses protested. “They will say, ‘The Lord didn’t appear to you.’ ”

² Then the Lord asked him, “What’s that in your hand?”

He answered, “A shepherd’s staff.”

³ The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”

When Moses threw it on the ground, it became a snake, and he ran away from it.
