Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."

5. "That they may believe that The LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."

6. The LORD said furthermore to him, "Now put your hand inside your cloak."He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.

7. He said, "Put your hand inside your cloak again."He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.

8. "It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9. It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land."

10. MOSES said to The LORD, "O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."

11. The LORD said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, The LORD?

12. Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak."

The LORD spoke to MOSES and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

He said, "Yah has sworn: 'The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'"

3. MOSES went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, "This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

4. 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.

5. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;

6. and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

7. MOSES came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.

8. All the people answered together, and said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do."MOSES reported the words of the people to The LORD.

9. The LORD said to MOSES, "Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." MOSES told the words of the people to The LORD.

The LORD spoke to MOSES face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart from the Tent.
