Then Moses answered - , “ What if they do not believe or listen to my voice ? For they may say , ‘ The LORD has not appeared to you.’ ”
| LXX |
And the LORD asked him , “ What is that in your hand ? ” “ A staff , ” he replied.
| LXX |
“ Throw it on the ground , ” said (the LORD). So (Moses) threw it on the ground , and it became a snake , and (he) ran from it.
| LXX |
“ Stretch out your hand and grab it by the tail , ” the LORD said to Moses , (who) reached out his hand and caught and it turned back into a staff in his hand.
| LXX |
“ This is so 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. ”
| LXX |
Furthermore , the LORD said “ Put ... your hand inside your cloak. ” So he put his hand inside his cloak , and when he took it out , ... his hand (was) leprous , white as snow.
| LXX |
“ Put your hand back inside your cloak , ” said (the LORD). So (Moses) put his hand back inside his cloak , and when he took it out , ... ... it was restored , like the rest of his skin.

| LXX |
“ Please , Lord , ” Moses replied ... ... , “ I have never ... been eloquent , neither in the past - nor since You have spoken to Your servant , for I am slow of speech and tongue. ”
| LXX |
And the LORD said to him , “ Who gave man his mouth ? Or who makes the mute or the deaf , ... the sighted or the blind ? Is it not I , the LORD ?
| LXX |
Now go ! I will help you ... as you speak , and I will teach you what to say. ”
| LXX |
But Moses replied , “ Please , Lord , send ... someone else .... ”
| LXX |
Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses , and He said , “ Is not Aaron the Levite your brother ? I know that he can speak well , and he is now on his way to meet you. When he sees you , he will be glad in his heart.
| LXX |
You are to speak to him and put the words - in his mouth. I will help ... both of you to speak ... ... , and I will teach you - what to do.
| LXX |

| LXX |
Then tell ... Pharaoh (that) this is what the LORD says : ‘ Israel is My firstborn son ,
