Semnele care-l vor însoţi pe Moise
4 Moise I-a răspuns:
– Dar dacă nu mă vor crede şi nu mă vor asculta, ci vor zice: „Nu ţi S-a arătat Domnul!“
2 – Ce ai în mână? l-a întrebat Domnul.
– Un toiag, I-a răspuns Moise.
3 – Aruncă-l la pământ! i-a zis Dumnezeu.
El l-a aruncat la pământ şi acesta s-a transformat într-un şarpe; Moise a fugit de el. 4 Apoi Domnul i-a zis lui Moise:
– Întinde-ţi mâna şi prinde-l de coadă!
El şi-a întins mâna, l-a prins şi acesta s-a transformat în mâna lui într-un toiag.
5 – Vei înfăptui această minune pentru ca ei să creadă că Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Avraam, Dumnezeul lui Isaac şi Dumnezeul lui Iacov, ţi S-a arătat.
6 Domnul i-a mai zis:
– Bagă-ţi mâna în sân!
Moise şi-a băgat mâna în sân şi când a scos-o era plină de lepră[a], albă ca zăpada. 7 Apoi Dumnezeu i-a zis:
– Bagă-ţi mâna înapoi în sân!
El şi-a băgat mâna înapoi în sân, însă când a scos-o, era la fel de sănătoasă ca tot trupul său.
8 – Dacă nu te vor crede şi nu vor lua în seamă mesajul primului semn, îl vor crede pe cel de-al doilea. 9 Dacă nu vor crede nici aceste două semne şi nu te vor lua în seamă, să iei apă din Nil şi să o verşi pe pământ. Apa pe care o vei lua din Nil se va preface în sânge pe pământul uscat.
10 Dar Moise I-a zis Domnului:
– Stăpâne, niciodată nu am fost un vorbitor bun, nici în trecut, nici chiar acum când ai vorbit robului Tău; am vorbirea şi limba încurcată[b].
11 Atunci Domnul l-a întrebat:
– Cine a făcut gura omului? Cine a făcut pe mut sau pe surd, cine a făcut vederea sau orbirea? Oare nu Eu, Domnul? 12 Acum, du-te, căci Eu voi fi cu gura ta şi te voi învăţa ce să spui.
13 Însă Moise I-a răspuns:
– Stăpâne, Te rog, trimite pe altcineva!
14 Atunci mânia Domnului s-a aprins împotriva lui Moise şi El i-a zis:
– Nu este levitul[c] Aaron frate cu tine? Ştiu că el poate vorbi bine; chiar acum vine să te întâlnească, iar când te va vedea, se va bucura în inima lui. 15 Să stai de vorbă cu el şi să-l împuterniceşti să vorbească toate cuvintele pe care ţi le-am dat; Eu voi fi cu gura ta şi cu gura lui şi te voi învăţa ce să faci. 16 El va vorbi poporului în locul tău; îţi va sluji drept gură şi tu vei fi pentru el cum este Dumnezeu pentru tine. 17 Ia în mână acest toiag, căci cu el vei face semnele.
Moise se întoarce în Egipt
18 Moise s-a întors la socrul său, Ietro, şi i-a zis:
– Te rog, lasă-mă să mă întorc la cei din poporul meu, care sunt în Egipt, ca să văd dacă mai trăiesc.
– Du-te în pace! i-a răspuns Ietro.
19 Domnul îi spusese lui Moise în Midian: „Întoarce-te în Egipt, pentru că toţi cei ce căutau să-ţi ia viaţa au murit.“ 20 Moise şi-a luat soţia şi fiii, i-a pus pe măgari şi s-a întors în Egipt. Moise avea în mână toiagul lui Dumnezeu. 21 Domnul i-a zis lui Moise: „Când te vei întoarce în Egipt şi vei înfăptui înaintea lui Faraon toate minunile pe care te-am împuternicit să le faci, Eu îi voi împietri inima şi el nu va lăsa poporul să plece. 22 Atunci să-i spui lui Faraon: «Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Israel este fiul Meu, întâiul Meu născut. 23 Ţi-am poruncit să-l laşi pe fiul Meu să plece ca să Mi se închine, însă tu nu ai vrut! Iată că acum îl voi ucide pe întâiul tău născut!’»“
24 Pe drum, în locul în care au rămas peste noapte, Domnul l-a întâlnit[d] şi a vrut să-l omoare. 25 Dar Sefora a luat o piatră ascuţită, a tăiat prepuţul fiului ei[e], l-a aruncat la picioarele lui Moise şi a zis: „Tu îmi eşti un soţ de sânge!“ 26 Atunci El l-a lăsat în pace. Ea a zis: „Un soţ de sânge“ din cauza circumciziei.
27 Domnul i-a zis lui Aaron: „Du-te în pustie ca să-l întâlneşti pe Moise.“ El a plecat şi, când a ajuns la muntele lui Dumnezeu, l-a întâlnit pe Moise şi l-a sărutat. 28 Moise i-a zis lui Aaron toate cuvintele cu care Domnul l-a trimis şi toate semnele pe care i le-a poruncit să le facă. 29 Apoi Moise şi Aaron s-au dus şi au convocat sfatul bătrânilor lui Israel. 30 Aaron le-a spus toate cuvintele pe care Domnul i le zisese lui Moise şi a făcut semnele înaintea poporului. 31 Poporul a crezut, iar când au auzit că Domnul i-a cercetat pe israeliţi şi că le-a văzut necazul, s-au plecat la pământ şi s-au închinat.

King James Version
Exodus 4
King James Version
4 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.
2 And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
3 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.
4 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:
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.

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)
