Then responded Moses, and said, And lo! they will not believe me, neither hearken to my voice, - for they will say, Yahweh, hath not appeared unto thee.

And Yahweh said unto him - What is this in thy hand? And he said - A staff.

Then said he - Cast it to the earth. And he cast it to the earth, and it became a serpent, - and Moses fled from the face thereof.

And Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by its tail: So he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand: -

that they may believe that Yahweh, God of their fathers, - God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob hath appeared unto thee.

Then said Yahweh unto him, yet again - Bring, I pray thee, thy hand, into thy bosom. So he brought his hand, into his bosom, - and then took it out, and lo! his hand, was leprous, - like snow,

And he said - Put back thy hand into thy bosom: So he put back his hand into his bosom, - and then took it out of his bosom, and lo it had come again like his own flesh:

thus shall it come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, then will they believe the voice of the next sign;

and it shall come to pass if they will not believe even these two signs nor hearken to thy voice, then shalt thou take of the water of the river, and pour it out on the dry land, - so shall the water which thou hast taken from the river, become, yea it shall become, blood, on the dry land.
