1. And Moses answereth and saith, `And, if they do not give credence to me, nor hearken to my voice, and say, Jehovah hath not appeared unto thee?`
|
1. And Moses H4872 answered H6030 and said H559 , But, behold H2005 , they will not H3808 believe H539 me, nor H3808 hearken H8085 unto my voice H6963 : for H3588 they will say H559 , The LORD H3068 hath not H3808 appeared H7200 unto H413 thee.
|
|
2. And Jehovah saith unto him, `What is this in thy hand?` and he saith, `A rod;`
|
2. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 him , What is that H4100 H2088 in thine hand H3027 ? And he said H559 , A rod H4294 .
|
|
3. and He saith, `Cast it to the earth;` and he casteth it to the earth, and it becometh a serpent -- and Moses fleeth from its presence.
|
3. And he said H559 , Cast H7993 it on the ground H776 . And he cast H7993 it on the ground H776 , and it became H1961 a serpent H5175 ; and Moses H4872 fled H5127 from before H4480 H6440 it.
|
|
4. And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Put forth thy hand, and lay hold on the tail of it;` and he putteth forth his hand, and layeth hold on it, and it becometh a rod in his hand --
|
4. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Put forth H7971 thine hand H3027 , and take H270 it by the tail H2180 . And he put forth H7971 his hand H3027 , and caught H2388 it , and it became H1961 a rod H4294 in his hand H3709 :
|
|
5. `-- so that they believe that Jehovah, God of their fathers, hath appeared unto thee, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.`
|
5. That H4616 they may believe H539 that H3588 the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 , the God H430 of Abraham H85 , the God H430 of Isaac H3327 , and the God H430 of Jacob H3290 , hath appeared H7200 unto H413 thee.
|
|
6. And Jehovah saith to him again, `Put in, I pray thee, thy hand into thy bosom;` and he putteth in his hand into his bosom, and he bringeth it out, and lo, his hand is leprous as snow;
|
6. And the LORD H3068 said H559 furthermore H5750 unto him, Put H935 now H4994 thine hand H3027 into thy bosom H2436 . And he put H935 his hand H3027 into his bosom H2436 : and when he took it out H3318 , behold H2009 , his hand H3027 was leprous H6879 as snow H7950 .
|
|
7. and He saith, `Put back thy hand unto thy bosom;` and he putteth back his hand unto his bosom, and he bringeth it out from his bosom, and lo, it hath turned back as his flesh --
|
7. And he said H559 , Put H7725 thine hand H3027 into H413 thy bosom H2436 again . And he put H7725 his hand H3027 into H413 his bosom H2436 again ; and plucked it out H3318 of his bosom H4480 H2436 , and, behold H2009 , it was turned again H7725 as his other flesh H1320 .
|
|
8. `-- and it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence to thee, and hearken not to the voice of the first sign, that they have given credence to the voice of the latter sign.
|
8. And it shall come to pass H1961 , if H518 they will not H3808 believe H539 thee, neither H3808 hearken H8085 to the voice H6963 of the first H7223 sign H226 , that they will believe H539 the voice H6963 of the latter H314 sign H226 .
|
|
9. `And it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence even to these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, that thou hast taken of the waters of the River, and hast poured on the dry land, and the waters which thou takest from the River have been, yea, they have become -- blood on the dry land.`
|
9. And it shall come to pass H1961 , if H518 they will not H3808 believe H539 also H1571 these H428 two H8147 signs H226 , neither H3808 hearken H8085 unto thy voice H6963 , that thou shalt take H3947 of the water H4480 H4325 of the river H2975 , and pour H8210 it upon the dry H3004 land : and the water H4325 which H834 thou takest H3947 out of H4480 the river H2975 shall become H1961 blood H1818 upon the dry H3006 land .
|
|
10. And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `O, my Lord, I am not a man of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Thy speaking unto Thy servant, for I am slow of mouth, and slow of tongue.`
|
10. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , O H994 my Lord H136 , I H595 am not H3808 eloquent H376 H1697 , neither H1571 heretofore H4480 H8543 H1571 H4480 H8032 , nor H1571 since H4480 H227 thou hast spoken H1696 unto H413 thy servant H5650 : but H3588 I H595 am slow H3515 of speech H6310 , and of a slow H3515 tongue H3956 .
|
|
11. And Jehovah saith unto him, `Who appointed a mouth for man? or who appointeth the dumb, or deaf, or open, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah?
|
11. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 him, Who H4310 hath made H7760 man H120 's mouth H6310 ? or H176 who H4310 maketh H7760 the dumb H483 , or H176 deaf H2795 , or H176 the seeing H6493 , or H176 the blind H5787 ? have not H3808 I H595 the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
12. and now, go, and I -- I am with thy mouth, and have directed thee that which thou speakest;`
|
12. Now H6258 therefore go H1980 , and I H595 will be H1961 with H5973 thy mouth H6310 , and teach H3384 thee what H834 thou shalt say H1696 .
|
|
13. and he saith, `O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.`
|
13. And he said H559 , O H994 my Lord H136 , send H7971 , I pray thee H4994 , by the hand H3027 of him whom thou wilt send H7971 .
|
|
14. And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Moses, and He saith, `Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I have known that he speaketh well, and also, lo, he is coming out to meet thee; when he hath seen thee, then he hath rejoiced in his heart,
|
14. And the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Moses H4872 , and he said H559 , Is not H3808 Aaron H175 the Levite H3881 thy brother H251 ? I know H3045 that H3588 he H1931 can speak well H1696 H1696 . And also H1571 , behold H2009 , he H1931 cometh forth H3318 to meet H7125 thee : and when he seeth H7200 thee , he will be glad H8055 in his heart H3820 .
|
|
15. and thou hast spoken unto him, and hast set the words in his mouth, and I -- I am with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which ye do;
|
15. And thou shalt speak H1696 unto H413 him , and put H7760 H853 words H1697 in his mouth H6310 : and I H595 will be H1961 with H5973 thy mouth H6310 , and with H5973 his mouth H6310 , and will teach H3384 you H853 what H834 ye shall do H6213 .
|
|
16. and he, he hath spoken for thee unto the people, and it hath come to pass, he -- he is to thee for a mouth, and thou -- thou art to him for God;
|
16. And he H1931 shall be thy spokesman H1696 unto H413 the people H5971 : and he shall be H1961 , even he H1931 shall be H1961 to thee instead of a mouth H6310 , and thou H859 shalt be H1961 to him instead of God H430 .
|
|
17. and this rod thou dost take in thy hand, with which thou doest the signs.`
|
17. And thou shalt take H3947 this H2088 rod H4294 in thine hand H3027 , wherewith H834 thou shalt do H6213 H853 signs H226 .
|
|
18. And Moses goeth and turneth back unto Jethro his father-in-law, and saith to him, `Let me go, I pray thee, and I turn back unto my brethren who are in Egypt, and I see whether they are yet alive.` And Jethro saith to Moses, `Go in peace.`
|
18. And Moses H4872 went H1980 and returned H7725 to H413 Jethro H3503 his father H2859 -in-law , and said H559 unto him , Let me go H1980 , I pray thee H4994 , and return H7725 unto H413 my brethren H251 which H834 are in Egypt H4714 , and see H7200 whether they be yet H5750 alive H2416 . And Jethro H3503 said H559 to Moses H4872 , Go H1980 in peace H7965 .
|
|
19. And Jehovah saith unto Moses in Midian, `Go, turn back to Egypt, for all the men have died who seek thy life;`
|
19. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 in Midian H4080 , Go H1980 , return H7725 into Egypt H4714 : for H3588 all H3605 the men H376 are dead H4191 which sought H1245 H853 thy life H5315 .
|
|
20. and Moses taketh his wife, and his sons, and causeth them to ride on the ass, and turneth back to the land of Egypt, and Moses taketh the rod of God in his hand.
|
20. And Moses H4872 took H3947 H853 his wife H802 and his sons H1121 , and set H7392 them upon H5921 an ass H2543 , and he returned H7725 to the land H776 of Egypt H4714 : and Moses H4872 took H3947 H853 the rod H4294 of God H430 in his hand H3027 .
|
|
21. And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `In thy going to turn back to Egypt, see -- all the wonders which I have put in thy hand -- that thou hast done them before Pharaoh, and I -- I strengthen his heart, and he doth not send the people away;
|
21. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , When thou goest H1980 to return H7725 into Egypt H4714 , see H7200 that thou do H6213 all H3605 those wonders H4159 before H6440 Pharaoh H6547 , which H834 I have put H7760 in thine hand H3027 : but I H589 will harden H2388 H853 his heart H3820 , that he shall not H3808 let H853 the people H5971 go H7971 .
|
|
22. and thou hast said unto Pharaoh, Thus said Jehovah, My son, My first-born is Israel,
|
22. And thou shalt say H559 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Israel H3478 is my son H1121 , even my firstborn H1060 :
|
|
23. and I say unto thee, Send away My son, and he doth serve Me; and -- thou dost refuse to send him away -- lo, I am slaying thy son, thy first-born.`
|
23. And I say H559 unto H413 thee , Let H853 my son H1121 go H7971 , that he may serve H5647 me : and if thou refuse H3985 to let him go H7971 , behold H2009 , I H595 will slay H2026 H853 thy son H1121 , even thy firstborn H1060 .
|
|
24. And it cometh to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that Jehovah meeteth him, and seeketh to put him to death;
|
24. And it came to pass H1961 by the way H1870 in the inn H4411 , that the LORD H3068 met H6298 him , and sought H1245 to kill H4191 him.
|
|
25. and Zipporah taketh a flint, and cutteth off the foreskin of her son, and causeth it to touch his feet, and saith, `Surely a bridegroom of blood art thou to me;`
|
25. Then Zipporah H6855 took H3947 a sharp stone H6864 , and cut off H3772 H853 the foreskin H6190 of her son H1121 , and cast H5060 it at his feet H7272 , and said H559 , Surely H3588 a bloody H1818 husband H2860 art thou H859 to me.
|
|
26. and He desisteth from him: then she said, `A bridegroom of blood,` in reference to the circumcision.
|
26. So he let him go H7503 H4480 : then H227 she said H559 , A bloody H1818 husband H2860 thou art , because of the circumcision H4139 .
|
|
27. And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, `Go to meet Moses into the wilderness;` and he goeth, and meeteth him in the mount of God, and kisseth him,
|
27. And the LORD H3068 said H559 to H413 Aaron H175 , Go H1980 into the wilderness H4057 to meet H7125 Moses H4872 . And he went H1980 , and met H6298 him in the mount H2022 of God H430 , and kissed H5401 him.
|
|
28. and Moses declareth to Aaron all the words of Jehovah with which He hath sent him, and all the signs with which He hath charged him.
|
28. And Moses H4872 told H5046 Aaron H175 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the LORD H3068 who H834 had sent H7971 him , and all H3605 the signs H226 which H834 he had commanded H6680 him.
|
|
29. And Moses goeth -- Aaron also -- and they gather all the elders of the sons of Israel,
|
29. And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 went H1980 and gathered together H622 H853 all H3605 the elders H2205 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 :
|
|
30. and Aaron speaketh all the words which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and doth the signs before the eyes of the people;
|
30. And Aaron H175 spoke H1696 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 which H834 the LORD H3068 had spoken H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , and did H6213 the signs H226 in the sight H5869 of the people H5971 .
|
|
31. and the people believe when they hear that Jehovah hath looked after the sons of Israel, and that He hath seen their affliction; and they bow and do obeisance.
|
31. And the people H5971 believed H539 : and when they heard H8085 that H3588 the LORD H3068 had visited H6485 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and that H3588 he had looked upon H7200 H853 their affliction H6040 , then they bowed their heads H6915 and worshiped H7812 .
