 神賜摩西的印證

摩西回答:“看哪,他們必不信我,也不聽我的話;因為他們必說:‘耶和華並沒有向你顯現。’” 耶和華問摩西:“那在你手裡的是甚麼?”他說:“是手杖。” 耶和華說:“把它丟在地上。”摩西把它一丟在地上,它就變了蛇;摩西就逃跑,離開了牠。 耶和華對摩西說:“伸出你的手來,捉住蛇的尾巴。”摩西就伸出手來,緊握著牠,牠在摩西的掌中又變回了手杖。 “這樣就使他們相信耶和華他們祖宗的 神,就是亞伯拉罕的 神、以撒的 神、雅各的 神曾向你顯現了。” 耶和華又再對摩西說:“現在把你的手放進懷裡。”摩西就把手放進懷裡;等他把手抽出來的時候,手就長滿了痲風,像雪那樣白。 耶和華說:“把你的手再放進懷裡。”摩西就把手再放進懷裡;等他把手從懷裡抽出來的時候,手就恢復過來,像身上別處的肉一樣。 耶和華又說:“如果他們不信你,也不聽從頭一個神蹟的話,他們必信隨後來的神蹟。 如果連這兩個神蹟他們也不信,也不聽你的話,你就從河裡取些水,倒在旱地上;你從河裡取來的水就必在旱地上變成血。”

亞倫作摩西的代言人

10 摩西對耶和華說:“主啊,我不是個會說話的人;以前不是,自從你對僕人說話以後也不是;因為我本是拙口笨舌的。” 11 耶和華對他說:“誰造人的口呢?誰使人口啞、耳聾、眼明、眼瞎呢?不是我耶和華嗎? 12 現在去吧,我必賜你口才,指教你當說的。” 13 摩西說:“主啊,請你差派你願意差派的人。” 14 耶和華向摩西發怒,說:“不是有你的哥哥利未人亞倫嗎?我知道他是有口才的;他現在出來要迎接你。他看見了你,心裡就快樂。 15 你要對他說話,把你要說的話放在他的口裡;我必與你的口同在,也與他的口同在;我必指教你們當行的事。 16 他要替你向人民說話,他要作你的口,你要作他的 神。 17 這手杖你要拿在手裡,用來行神蹟。”

摩西返回埃及

18 於是,摩西起程回到他岳父葉忒羅那裡,對他說:“請你容我離開這裡,回到我在埃及的同胞那裡,看看他們是否還在。”葉忒羅對摩西說:“你可以平平安安地去吧。” 19 耶和華在米甸對摩西說:“你要起程,回到埃及去,因為那些尋索你命的人都死了。” 20 摩西就帶著他的妻子和孩子,讓他們騎在驢上,向著埃及地回去了;摩西手裡拿著 神的杖。 21 耶和華對摩西說:“你起程回到埃及去的時候,要留意我交在你手裡的一切奇事,把它們行在法老面前;我卻要使他的心剛硬,他就不讓人民離開。 22 你要對法老說:‘耶和華這樣說:以色列是我的長子。 23 我曾對你說,要讓我的兒子離開這裡,好叫他事奉我。你還是拒絕讓他離開,看哪!我必殺你的長子。’”

24 在路上住宿的地方,耶和華遇見了摩西,就想要殺他。 25 西坡拉就拿了一把石刀,把她兒子的包皮割下來,把它丟到摩西的腳上,說:“你真是我的血郎了!” 26 這樣,耶和華才放了他。那時西坡拉說:“你是血郎,是因為割禮的緣故。”

27 耶和華對亞倫說:“你到曠野去迎接摩西。”他就去了;他在 神的山遇見了摩西,就和他親吻。 28 摩西把耶和華派他所說的一切話,和吩咐他所行的一切神蹟都告訴了亞倫。 29 摩西和亞倫就去召集以色列人的眾長老。 30 亞倫把耶和華對摩西所說的一切話都說了一遍,並且在人民的眼前行了這些神蹟。 31 人民就相信了;他們聽見耶和華眷顧以色列人,也鑒察了他們的痛苦,就俯伏敬拜。

And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.

And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

10 And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

11 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?

12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.

14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.

17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.

18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

19 And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.

20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.

24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him.

25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.

26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.

27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.

28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.

29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:

30 And Aaron spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
