神赐摩西的印证
4 摩西回答：“看哪，他们必不信我，也不听我的话；因为他们必说：‘耶和华并没有向你显现。’” 2 耶和华问摩西：“那在你手里的是甚么？”他说：“是手杖。” 3 耶和华说：“把它丢在地上。”摩西把它一丢在地上，它就变了蛇；摩西就逃跑，离开了牠。 4 耶和华对摩西说：“伸出你的手来，捉住蛇的尾巴。”摩西就伸出手来，紧握着牠，牠在摩西的掌中又变回了手杖。 5 “这样就使他们相信耶和华他们祖宗的 神，就是亚伯拉罕的 神、以撒的 神、雅各的 神曾向你显现了。” 6 耶和华又再对摩西说：“现在把你的手放进怀里。”摩西就把手放进怀里；等他把手抽出来的时候，手就长满了痲风，像雪那样白。 7 耶和华说：“把你的手再放进怀里。”摩西就把手再放进怀里；等他把手从怀里抽出来的时候，手就恢复过来，像身上别处的肉一样。 8 耶和华又说：“如果他们不信你，也不听从头一个神迹的话，他们必信随后来的神迹。 9 如果连这两个神迹他们也不信，也不听你的话，你就从河里取些水，倒在旱地上；你从河里取来的水就必在旱地上变成血。”
亚伦作摩西的代言人
10 摩西对耶和华说：“主啊，我不是个会说话的人；以前不是，自从你对仆人说话以后也不是；因为我本是拙口笨舌的。” 11 耶和华对他说：“谁造人的口呢？谁使人口哑、耳聋、眼明、眼瞎呢？不是我耶和华吗？ 12 现在去吧，我必赐你口才，指教你当说的。” 13 摩西说：“主啊，请你差派你愿意差派的人。” 14 耶和华向摩西发怒，说：“不是有你的哥哥利未人亚伦吗？我知道他是有口才的；他现在出来要迎接你。他看见了你，心里就快乐。 15 你要对他说话，把你要说的话放在他的口里；我必与你的口同在，也与他的口同在；我必指教你们当行的事。 16 他要替你向人民说话，他要作你的口，你要作他的 神。 17 这手杖你要拿在手里，用来行神迹。”
摩西返回埃及
18 于是，摩西起程回到他岳父叶忒罗那里，对他说：“请你容我离开这里，回到我在埃及的同胞那里，看看他们是否还在。”叶忒罗对摩西说：“你可以平平安安地去吧。” 19 耶和华在米甸对摩西说：“你要起程，回到埃及去，因为那些寻索你命的人都死了。” 20 摩西就带着他的妻子和孩子，让他们骑在驴上，向着埃及地回去了；摩西手里拿着 神的杖。 21 耶和华对摩西说：“你起程回到埃及去的时候，要留意我交在你手里的一切奇事，把它们行在法老面前；我却要使他的心刚硬，他就不让人民离开。 22 你要对法老说：‘耶和华这样说：以色列是我的长子。 23 我曾对你说，要让我的儿子离开这里，好叫他事奉我。你还是拒绝让他离开，看哪！我必杀你的长子。’”
24 在路上住宿的地方，耶和华遇见了摩西，就想要杀他。 25 西坡拉就拿了一把石刀，把她儿子的包皮割下来，把它丢到摩西的脚上，说：“你真是我的血郎了！” 26 这样，耶和华才放了他。那时西坡拉说：“你是血郎，是因为割礼的缘故。”
27 耶和华对亚伦说：“你到旷野去迎接摩西。”他就去了；他在 神的山遇见了摩西，就和他亲吻。 28 摩西把耶和华派他所说的一切话，和吩咐他所行的一切神迹都告诉了亚伦。 29 摩西和亚伦就去召集以色列人的众长老。 30 亚伦把耶和华对摩西所说的一切话都说了一遍，并且在人民的眼前行了这些神迹。 31 人民就相信了；他们听见耶和华眷顾以色列人，也鉴察了他们的痛苦，就俯伏敬拜。

Signs for Moses
4 Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen(A) to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”
2 Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?”
“A staff,”(B) he replied.
3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake,(C) and he ran from it. 4 Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5 “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe(D) that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”
6 Then the Lord said, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous[a]—it had become as white as snow.(E)
7 “Now put it back into your cloak,” he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored,(F) like the rest of his flesh.
8 Then the Lord said, “If they do not believe(G) you or pay attention to the first sign,(H) they may believe the second. 9 But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood(I) on the ground.”
10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”(J)
11 The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute?(K) Who gives them sight or makes them blind?(L) Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now go;(M) I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”(N)
13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”(O)
14 Then the Lord’s anger burned(P) against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet(Q) you, and he will be glad to see you. 15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth;(R) I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16 He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth(S) and as if you were God to him.(T) 17 But take this staff(U) in your hand(V) so you can perform the signs(W) with it.”
Moses Returns to Egypt
18 Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.”
Jethro said, “Go, and I wish you well.”
19 Now the Lord had said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill(X) you are dead.(Y)” 20 So Moses took his wife and sons,(Z) put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff(AA) of God in his hand.
21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders(AB) I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart(AC) so that he will not let the people go.(AD) 22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son,(AE) 23 and I told you, “Let my son go,(AF) so he may worship(AG) me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”(AH)
24 At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses[b] and was about to kill(AI) him. 25 But Zipporah(AJ) took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin(AK) and touched Moses’ feet with it.[c] “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)
27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he met Moses at the mountain(AL) of God and kissed(AM) him. 28 Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.
29 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders(AN) of the Israelites, 30 and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs(AO) before the people, 31 and they believed.(AP) And when they heard that the Lord was concerned(AQ) about them and had seen their misery,(AR) they bowed down and worshiped.(AS)

Moses Given Powerful Signs
4 Then Moses answered, “But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’” 2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, (A)“A staff.” 3 And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it. 4 But the Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it by the tail”—so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand— 5 “that they may (B)believe that the Lord, (C)the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” 6 Again, the Lord said to him, “Put your hand inside your cloak.”[a] And he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was (D)leprous[b] like snow. 7 Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your cloak.” So he put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, (E)it was restored like the rest of his flesh. 8 “If they will not believe you,” God said, “or listen to the first sign, they may believe the latter sign. 9 If they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and the water that you shall take from the Nile (F)will become blood on the dry ground.”
10 But Moses said to the Lord, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but (G)I am slow of speech and of tongue.” 11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now therefore go, and (H)I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” 13 But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” 14 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, (I)he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 (J)You shall speak to him and (K)put the words in his mouth, and (L)I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do. 16 (M)He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and (N)you shall be as God to him. 17 And take in your hand (O)this staff, with which you shall do the signs.”
Moses Returns to Egypt
18 Moses went back to (P)Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Please let me go back to my brothers in Egypt to see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.” 19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for (Q)all the men who were seeking your life are dead.” 20 So Moses took (R)his wife and his sons and had them ride on a donkey, and went back to the land of Egypt. And Moses took (S)the staff of God in his hand.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the (T)miracles that I have put in your power. But (U)I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, (V)Israel is my (W)firstborn son, 23 and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I (X)will kill your firstborn son.’”
24 At a lodging place on the way (Y)the Lord met him and (Z)sought to put him to death. 25 Then (AA)Zipporah took a (AB)flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses'[c] feet with it and said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!” 26 So he let him alone. It was then that she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness (AC)to meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the (AD)mountain of God and kissed him. 28 And Moses (AE)told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak, and all (AF)the signs that he had commanded him to do. 29 Then Moses and Aaron (AG)went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. 30 (AH)Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31 And the people (AI)believed; and when they heard that the Lord had (AJ)visited the people of Israel and that he had (AK)seen their affliction, (AL)they bowed their heads and worshiped.
