Exodus 4:1-3

Signs for Moses 1Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you’?”

2Then the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied.

3The LORD said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.
