The LORD said to Moses, “If they do not
and are not convinced
believe you
by the first miraculous sign,
they will be convinced
by the second sign.
And if they don’t believe you or listen to you even after these two signs, then
take some water from the Nile River and pour it out on the dry ground. When
you do, the water from the Nile will turn to blood on the ground.”

Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”
13 But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.”
14 Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about

the words in his mouth.

I will be with both of you
ct you
as you speak, and
I will instruct you both
in what to do.
in what
to say.”
Aaron will be your spokesman to the people. He will be your mouthpiece,
and you will stand in the place of God for him, telling him what to say. 17 And
take your shepherd’s staff with you, and use it to perform the miraculous
signs I have shown you.”

to my relatives in Egypt,” Moses said. “I don’t even know if they are still alive.”
“Go in peace,” Jethro replied.
