1. Moses answered, "What if the elders of Israel won't believe me? What if they won't listen to me? Suppose they say, 'The Lord didn't appear to you.' Then what should I do?"
2. The Lord said to him, "What do you have in your hand?" "A wooden staff," he said.
3. The Lord said, "Throw it on the ground." So Moses threw it on the ground. It turned into a snake. He ran away from it.
