21st Century King James Version

4 And Moses answered and said, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, ‘The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.’”

² And the Lord said unto him, “What is that in thine hand?” And he said, “A rod.”

³ And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
