of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
004:008 "It will happen, if they will neither believe you nor listen
to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe
the voice of the latter sign.
004:009 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs,
neither listen to your voice, that you shall take
of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land.
The water which you take out of the river will become blood
on the dry land."
004:010 Moses said to Yahweh, "Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent,
neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant;
for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."
004:011 Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute,
or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?
004:012 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach
you what you shall speak."
004:013 He said, "Oh, Lord, please send someone else."
004:014 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Moses, and he said,
"What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can
speak well. Also, behold, he comes forth to meet you.
When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
004:015 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth.
I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach
you what you shall do.
004:016 He will be your spokesman to the people; and it will happen,
that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.
004:017 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall
do the signs."
004:018 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law,
and said to him, "Please let me go and return to my brothers
who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive."
Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."
004:019 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt;
for all the men who sought your life are dead."
004:020 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey,
and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God's rod
in his hand.
004:021 Yahweh said to Moses, "When you go back into Egypt, see that you
do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand,
but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
004:022 You shall tell Pharaoh, 'Thus says Yahweh, Israel is
my son, my firstborn,
004:023 and I have said to you, "Let my son go, that he may serve me;"
and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill
your son, your firstborn.'"
004:024 It happened on the way at a lodging place, that Yahweh met
him and wanted to kill him.
004:025 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son,
and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a
bridegroom of blood to me."
004:026 So he let him alone.
