^16 (A)He shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him. ¹⁷ And you shall take in your hand ^(B)this staff, ^(C)with which you shall perform the signs.”

¹⁸ Then Moses departed and returned to ^(D)his father-in-law ^[a]Jethro, and said to him, “Please, let me go, that I may return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see if they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
