Exodus 4:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ Then the Lord said, “The people may not believe you or be convinced by the first miracle. They may believe you when you show them this second miracle. ⁹ After these two miracles they still may not believe or listen to you. Then take some water from the Nile River. Pour it on the dry ground. The water will become blood when it touches the ground.”

¹⁰ But Moses said to the Lord, “But Lord, I am not a skilled speaker. I have never been able to speak well. And now, even after talking to you, I am not a good speaker. I speak slowly and can’t find the best words.”
