Exodus 4:3 in Context — Exodus 4

1 Então Moisés respondeu, e disse: Eis que eles não crerão em mim, nem ouvirão minha voz; porque dirão: O SENHOR não apareceu a ti.

2 E o SENHOR disse: Que é isso que tens em tua mão? E ele respondeu: Uma vara.

3 E ele lhe disse: Lança-a em terra. E ele a lançou em terra, e tornou-se uma cobra: e Moisés fugia dela.

4 Então disse o SENHOR a Moisés: Estende tua mão, e toma-a pela cauda. E ele estendeu sua mão, e tomou-a, e tornou-se vara em sua mão.

5 Por isto crerão que se te apareceu o SENHOR, o Deus de teus pais, o Deus de Abraão, Deus de Isaque, e Deus de Jacó.
