4:1 And Moses 4872 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799, But, behold, they will not believe 539 8686 me, nor hearken 8085 8799 unto my voice 6963: for they will say 559 8799, The LORD 3068 hath not appeared 7200 8738 unto thee.

4:2 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto him, What [is] that in thine hand 3027? And he said 559 8799, A rod 4294.

4:3 And he said 559 8799, Cast 7993 8685 it on the ground 776. And he cast 7993 8686 it on the ground 776, and it became a serpent 5175; and Moses 4872 fled 5127 8799 from before 6440 it.

4:4 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Put forth 7971 8798 thine hand 3027, and take 270 8798 it by the tail 2180. And he put forth 7971 8799 his hand 3027, and caught 2388 8686 it, and it became a rod 4294 in his hand 3709:

4:5 That they may believe 539 8686 that the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers 1, the God 430 of Abraham 85, the God 430 of Isaac 3327, and the God 430 of Jacob 3290, hath appeared 7200 8738 unto thee.

4:6 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 furthermore 5750 unto him, Put 935 8685 now thine hand 3027 into thy bosom 2436. And he put 935 8686 his hand 3027 into his bosom 2436: and when he took 3318 8686 it out, behold, his hand 3027 [was] leprous 6879 8794 as snow 7950.

4:7 And he said 559 8799, Put 7725 0 thine hand 3027 into thy bosom 2436 again 7725 8685. And he put 7725 0 his hand 3027 into his bosom 2436 again 7725 8686; and plucked 3318 8686 it out of his bosom 2436, and, behold, it was turned again 7725 8804 as his [other] flesh 1320.

4:8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe 539 8686 thee, neither hearken 8085 8799 to the voice 6963 of the first 7223 sign 226, that they will believe 539 8689 the voice 6963 of the latter 314 sign 226.

4:9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe 539 8686 also these two 8147 signs 226, neither hearken 8085 8799 unto thy voice 6963, that thou shalt take 3947 8804 of the water 4325 of the river 2975, and pour 8210 8804 [it] upon the dry 3004 [land]: and the water 4325 which thou takest 3947 8799 out of the river 2975 shall become blood 1818 upon the dry 3006 [land].(shall become: Heb. shall be and shall be)

4:10 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto the LORD 3068, O 994 my Lord 136, I 376 [am] not eloquent 1697, neither heretofore 8032 8543, nor since 227 thou hast spoken 1696 8763 unto thy servant 5650: but I [am] slow 3515 of speech 6310, and of a slow 3515 tongue 3956.(eloquent: Heb. a man of words)(heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, nor since the third day)

4:11 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto him, Who hath made 7760 8804 man's 120 mouth 6310? or who maketh 7760 8799 the dumb 483, or deaf 2795, or the seeing 6493, or the blind 5787? have not I the LORD 3068?

4:12 Now therefore go 3212 8798, and I will be with thy mouth 6310, and teach 3384 8689 thee what thou shalt say 1696 8762.

4:13 And he said 559 8799, O 994 my Lord 136, send 7971 8798, I pray thee, by the hand 3027 [of him whom] thou wilt send 7971 8799.(wilt: or, shouldest)

4:14 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 8799 against Moses 4872, and he said 559 8799, [Is] not Aaron 175 the Levite 3881 thy brother 251? I know 3045 8804 that he can speak 1696 8762 well 1696 8763. And also, behold, he cometh forth 3318 8802 to meet 7125 8800 thee: and when he seeth 7200 8804 thee, he will be glad 8055 8804 in his heart 3820.

4:15 And thou shalt speak 1696 8765 unto him, and put 7760 8804 words 1697 in his mouth 6310: and I will be with thy mouth 6310, and with his mouth 6310, and will teach 3384 8689 you what ye shall do 6213 8799.

4:16 And he shall be thy spokesman 1696 8765 unto the people 5971: and he shall be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth 6310, and thou shalt be to him instead of God 430.

4:17 And thou shalt take 3947 8799 this rod 4294 in thine hand 3027, wherewith thou shalt do 6213 8799 signs 226.

4:18 And Moses 4872 went 3212 8799 and returned 7725 8799 to Jethro 3500 his father in law 2859 8802, and said 559 8799 unto him, Let me go 3212 8799, I pray thee, and return 7725 8799 unto my brethren 251 which [are] in Egypt 4714, and see 7200 8799 whether they be yet 5750 alive 2416. And Jethro 3503 said 559 8799 to Moses 4872, Go 3212 8798 in peace 7965.(Jethro: Heb. Jether)

4:19 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872 in Midian 4080, Go 3212 8798, return 7725 8798 into Egypt 4714: for all the men 582 are dead 4191 8804 which sought 1245 8764 thy life 5315.

4:20 And Moses 4872 took 3947 8799 his wife 802 and his sons 1121, and set 7392 8686 them upon an ass 2543, and he returned 7725 8799 to the land 776 of Egypt 4714: and Moses 4872 took 3947 8799 the rod 4294 of God 430 in his hand 3027.

4:21 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, When thou goest 3212 8800 to return 7725 8800 into Egypt 4714, see 7200 8798 that thou do 6213 8804 all those wonders 4159 before 6440 Pharaoh 6547, which I have put 7760 8804 in thine hand 3027: but I will harden 2388 8762 his heart 3820, that he shall not let the people 5971 go 7971 8762.

4:22 And thou shalt say 559 8804 unto Pharaoh 6547, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Israel 3478 [is] my son 1121, [even] my firstborn 1060:

4:23 And I say 559 8799 unto thee, Let my son 1121 go 7971 8761, that he may serve 5647 8799 me: and if thou refuse 3985 8762 to let him go 7971 8763, behold, I will slay 2026 8802 thy son 1121, [even] thy firstborn 1060.

4:24 And it came to pass by the way 1870 in the inn 4411, that the LORD 3068 met 6298 8799 him, and sought 1245 8762 to kill 4191 8687 him.

4:25 Then Zipporah 6855 took 3947 8799 a sharp stone 6864, and cut off 3772 8799 the foreskin 6190 of her son 1121, and cast 5060 8686 [it] at his feet 7272, and said 559 8799, Surely a bloody 1818 husband 2860 [art] thou to me.(sharp…: or, knife)(cast…: Heb. made it touch)

4:26 So he let him go 7503 8799: then she said 559 8804, A bloody 1818 husband 2860 [thou art], because of the circumcision 4139.

4:27 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 to Aaron 175, Go 3212 8798 into the wilderness 4057 to meet 7125 8800 Moses 4872. And he went 3212 8799, and met 6298 8799 him in the mount 2022 of God 430, and kissed 5401 8799 him.

4:28 And Moses 4872 told 5046 8686 Aaron 175 all the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 who had sent 7971 8804 him, and all the signs 226 which he had commanded 6680 8765 him.

4:29 And Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went 3212 8799 and gathered together 622 8799 all the elders 2205 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478:

4:30 And Aaron 175 spake 1696 8762 all the words 1697 which the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 8765 unto Moses 4872, and did 6213 8799 the signs 226 in the sight 5869 of the people 5971.

4:31 And the people 5971 believed 539 8686: and when they heard 8085 8799 that the LORD 3068 had visited 6485 8804 the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and that he had looked 7200 8804 upon their affliction 6040, then they bowed their heads 6915 8799 and worshipped 7812 8691.
