Exodus 4

4:1

And Moses
<04872>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

But, behold, they will not believe
<0539> (8686)

me, nor hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto my voice
<06963>_:

for they will say
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath not appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto thee.

4:2

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What [is] that in thine hand
<03027>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

A rod
<04294>_.

4:3

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Cast
<07993> (8685)

it on the ground
<0776>_.

And he cast
<07993> (8686)

it on the ground
<0776>_,

and it became a serpent
<05175>_;

and Moses
<04872>

fled
<05127> (8799)

from before
<06440>

it.

4:4

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Put forth
<07971> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>_,

and take
<0270> (8798)

it by the tail
<02180>_.

And he put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and caught
<02388> (8686)

it, and it became a rod
<04294>

in his hand
<03709>_:

4:5

That they may believe
<0539> (8686)

that the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

the God
<0430>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

hath appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto thee.

4:6

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

furthermore
<05750>

unto him, Put
<0935> (8685)

now thine hand
<03027>

into thy bosom
<02436>_.

And he put
<0935> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

into his bosom
<02436>_:

and when he took
<03318> (8686)

it out, behold, his hand
<03027>

[was] leprous
<06879> (8794)

as snow
<07950>_.

4:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Put
<07725> (0)

thine hand
<03027>

into thy bosom
<02436>

again
<07725> (8685)_.

And he put
<07725> (0)

his hand
<03027>

into his bosom
<02436>

again
<07725> (8686)_;

and plucked
<03318> (8686)

it out of his bosom
<02436>_,

and, behold, it was turned again
<07725> (8804)

as his [other] flesh
<01320>_.

4:8

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe
<0539> (8686)

thee, neither hearken
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of the first
<07223>

sign
<0226>_,

that they will believe
<0539> (8689)

the voice
<06963>

of the latter
<0314>

sign
<0226>_.

4:9

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe
<0539> (8686)

also these two
<08147>

signs
<0226>_,

neither hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto thy voice
<06963>_,

that thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)

of the water
<04325>

of the river
<02975>_,

and pour
<08210> (8804)

[it] upon the dry
<03004>

[land]: and the water
<04325>

which thou takest
<03947> (8799)

out of the river
<02975>

shall become blood
<01818>

upon the dry
<03006>

[land]. {shall become: Heb. shall be and shall be}

4:10

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

O
<0994>

my Lord
<0136>_,

I
<0376>

[am] not eloquent
<01697>_,

neither heretofore
<08032> <08543>_,

nor since
<0227>

thou hast spoken
<01696> (8763)

unto thy servant
<05650>_:

but I [am] slow
<03515>

of speech
<06310>_,

and of a slow
<03515>

tongue
<03956>_.

{eloquent: Heb. a man of words} {heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, nor since the third day}

4:11

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Who hath made
<07760> (8804)

man's
<0120>

mouth
<06310>_?

or who maketh
<07760> (8799)

the dumb
<0483>_,

or deaf
<02795>_,

or the seeing
<06493>_,

or the blind
<05787>_?

have not I the LORD
<03068>_?

4:12

Now therefore go
<03212> (8798)_,

and I will be with thy mouth
<06310>_,

and teach
<03384> (8689)

thee what thou shalt say
<01696> (8762)_.

4:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

my Lord
<0136>_,

send
<07971> (8798)_,

I pray thee, by the hand
<03027>

[of him whom] thou wilt send
<07971> (8799)_.

{wilt: or, shouldest}

4:14

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Moses
<04872>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] not Aaron
<0175>

the Levite
<03881>

thy brother
<0251>_?

I know
<03045> (8804)

that he can speak
<01696> (8762)

well
<01696> (8763)_.

And also, behold, he cometh forth
<03318> (8802)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

thee: and when he seeth
<07200> (8804)

thee, he will be glad
<08055> (8804)

in his heart
<03820>_.

4:15

And thou shalt speak
<01696> (8765)

unto him, and put
<07760> (8804)

words
<01697>

in his mouth
<06310>_:

and I will be with thy mouth
<06310>_,

and with his mouth
<06310>_,

and will teach
<03384> (8689)

you what ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_.

4:16

And he shall be thy spokesman
<01696> (8765)

unto the people
<05971>_:

and he shall be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth
<06310>_,

and thou shalt be to him instead of God
<0430>_.

4:17

And thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

this rod
<04294>

in thine hand
<03027>_,

wherewith thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

signs
<0226>_.

4:18

And Moses
<04872>

went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jethro
<03500>

his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let me go
<03212> (8799)_,

I pray thee, and return
<07725> (8799)

unto my brethren
<0251>

which [are] in Egypt
<04714>_,

and see
<07200> (8799)

whether they be yet
<05750>

alive
<02416>_.

And Jethro
<03503>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Moses
<04872>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_.

{Jethro: Heb. Jether}

4:19

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>

in Midian
<04080>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

return
<07725> (8798)

into Egypt
<04714>_:

for all the men
<0582>

are dead
<04191> (8804)

which sought
<01245> (8764)

thy life
<05315>_.

4:20

And Moses
<04872>

took
<03947> (8799)

his wife
<0802>

and his sons
<01121>_,

and set
<07392> (8686)

them upon an ass
<02543>_,

and he returned
<07725> (8799)

to the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

and Moses
<04872>

took
<03947> (8799)

the rod
<04294>

of God
<0430>

in his hand
<03027>_.

4:21

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

When thou goest
<03212> (8800)

to return
<07725> (8800)

into Egypt
<04714>_,

see
<07200> (8798)

that thou do
<06213> (8804)

all those wonders
<04159>

before
<06440>

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

which I have put
<07760> (8804)

in thine hand
<03027>_:

but I will harden
<02388> (8762)

his heart
<03820>_,

that he shall not let the people
<05971>

go
<07971> (8762)_.

4:22

And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Israel
<03478>

[is] my son
<01121>_,

[even] my firstborn
<01060>_:

4:23

And I say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Let my son
<01121>

go
<07971> (8761)_,

that he may serve
<05647> (8799)

me: and if thou refuse
<03985> (8762)

to let him go
<07971> (8763)_,

behold, I will slay
<02026> (8802)

thy son
<01121>_,

[even] thy firstborn
<01060>_.

4:24

And it came to pass by the way
<01870>

in the inn
<04411>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

met
<06298> (8799)

him, and sought
<01245> (8762)

to kill
<04191> (8687)

him.

4:25

Then Zipporah
<06855>

took
<03947> (8799)

a sharp stone
<06864>_,

and cut off
<03772> (8799)

the foreskin
<06190>

of her son
<01121>_,

and cast
<05060> (8686)

[it] at his feet
<07272>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely a bloody
<01818>

husband
<02860>

[art] thou to me. {sharp...: or, knife} {cast...: Heb. made it touch}

4:26

So he let him go
<07503> (8799)_:

then she said
<0559> (8804)_,

A bloody
<01818>

husband
<02860>

[thou art], because of the circumcision
<04139>_.

4:27

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Aaron
<0175>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

into the wilderness
<04057>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Moses
<04872>_.

And he went
<03212> (8799)_,

and met
<06298> (8799)

him in the mount
<02022>

of God
<0430>_,

and kissed
<05401> (8799)

him.

4:28

And Moses
<04872>

told
<05046> (8686)

Aaron
<0175>

all the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

who had sent
<07971> (8804)

him, and all the signs
<0226>

which he had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him.

4:29

And Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>

went
<03212> (8799)

and gathered together
<0622> (8799)

all the elders
<02205>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

4:30

And Aaron
<0175>

spake
<01696> (8762)

all the words
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

the signs
<0226>

in the sight
<05869>

of the people
<05971>_.

4:31

And the people
<05971>

believed
<0539> (8686)_:

and when they heard
<08085> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

had visited
<06485> (8804)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and that he had looked
<07200> (8804)

upon their affliction
<06040>_,

then they bowed their heads
<06915> (8799)

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_.
