Exodus 4:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² The Lord answered, “What's that in your hand?”

“A walking stick,” Moses replied.

³ “Throw it down!” the Lord commanded. So Moses threw the stick on the ground. It immediately turned into a snake, and Moses jumped back.

⁴ “Pick it up by the tail!” the Lord told him. And when Moses did this, the snake turned back into a walking stick.
