Exodus 4:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Then the Lord said, “If the people do not ·believe [trust] you or ·pay attention to [listen to the evidence of] the first ·miracle [sign], they may ·believe [trust] you when you show them this second ·miracle [sign]. ⁹ After these two ·miracles [signs], if they still do not ·believe [trust] or listen to ·you [^Lyour voice], take some water from the Nile River and pour it on the dry ground. The water will become blood ·when it touches [^Lon] the ground.”

¹⁰ But Moses said to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I have never been a ·skilled speaker [^Lman of words]. Even now, after talking to you, I cannot speak well. I ·speak slowly and can’t find the best words [^Lhave a heavy/slow mouth and a heavy/slow tongue].”
