Exodus 4:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² The Lord said to him, “What do you have in your hand?”

“A walking stick,” he said.

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

So Moses threw it on the ground. It turned into a snake. He ran away from it. ⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach your hand out. Take the snake by the tail.” So he reached out and grabbed the snake. It turned back into a walking stick in his hand.
