Signs of the Lord’s Power

4 But Moses protested again, “What if they won’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘The Lord never appeared to you’?”

² Then the Lord asked him, “What is that in your hand?”

“A shepherd’s staff,” Moses replied.

¹² Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”

¹⁷ And take your shepherd’s staff with you, and use it to perform the miraculous signs I have shown you.”
