Exodus 4:2-4

Good News Translation

² So the Lord asked him, “What are you holding?”

“A walking stick,” he answered.

³ The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” When Moses threw it down, it turned into a snake, and he ran away from it. ⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach down and pick it up by the tail.” So Moses reached down and caught it, and it became a walking stick again.
