Exodus 4:3 in Context — Exodus 4

1 Moïse répondit, et dit: Voici, ils ne me croiront point, et ils n’écouteront point ma voix. Mais ils diront: L’Éternel ne t’est point apparu.

2 L’Éternel lui dit: Qu’y a-t-il dans ta main? Il répondit: Une verge.

3 L’Éternel dit: Jette-la par terre. Il la jeta par terre, et elle devint un serpent. Moïse fuyait devant lui.

4 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: Étends ta main, et saisis-le par la queue. Il étendit la main et le saisit et le serpent redevint une verge dans sa main.

5 C’est là, dit l’Éternel, ce que tu feras, afin qu’ils croient que l’Éternel, le Dieu de leurs pères, t’est apparu, le Dieu d’Abraham, le Dieu d’Isaac et le Dieu de Jacob.
