Exodus 4:2-4

Living Bible

² “What do you have there in your hand?” the Lord asked him.

And he replied, “A shepherd’s rod.”

³ “Throw it down on the ground,” the Lord told him. So he threw it down—and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it!

⁴ Then the Lord told him, “Grab it by the tail!” He did, and it became a rod in his hand again!
