THE SIGNS OF YAH VEH TO MOSHEH
And Mosheh answers and says, And behold, they neither trust me, nor hearken to my voice: for they say, Yah Veh was not seen by you. 2 And Yah Veh says to him, What is that in your hand? And he says, A rod. 3 And he says, Cast it on the earth. - and he casts it on the earth and it becomes a serpent; and Mosheh flees from its face. 4 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Spread your hand and hold it by the tail. - and he spreads his hand and holds it and it becomes a rod in his palm: 5 so that they trust that Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, Elohim of Abraham, Elohim of Yischaq and Elohim of Yaaqov was seen by you. 6 And again Yah Veh says to him, Put, I beseech you, your hand into your bosom. - and he puts his hand into his bosom: and when he takes it out, behold, his hand is leprous as snow. 7 And he says, Return your hand into your bosom. - and he returns his hand into his bosom; and plucks it from his bosom and behold, it returns as his flesh. 8 And so be it, if they neither trust you, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they trust the voice of the latter sign: 9 and so be it, if they neither trust also these two signs, nor hearken to your voice, then take of the water of the river and pour it on the dry: and the water you take from the river becomes blood on the dry. 10 And Mosheh says to Yah Veh, O my Adonay, I am not a man of words - neither for three yesters ago nor since you have worded to your servant: but I am heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue. 11 And Yah Veh says to him, Who set the human mouth? Or who set the mute, or deaf, or the open-eyed, or the blind? Have not I -Yah Veh? 12 Now go and I - I am with your mouth and direct you what to word. 13 And he says, O my Adonay, send, I beseech you, by the hand of him whom you send. 14 And the wrath of Yah Veh kindles against Mosheh, and he says, Is not Aharon the Leviy your brother? I know that in wording, he words well: and also, behold, he comes to meet you: and when he sees you, he cheers in his heart. 15 and you word to him and put words in his mouth: and I - I am with your mouth and with his mouth and direct you what to work. 16 And he words for you to the people: and he becomes to you in the stead of a mouth and you become to him in the stead of Elohim: 17 and take this rod in your hand wherewith you work signs. 18 And Mosheh goes and returns to Yithro his in law, and says to him, Let me go, I beseech you, and return to my brothers in Misrayim and see whether they are still alive. And Yithro says to Mosheh, Go in shalom. 19 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh in Midyan, Go, return into Misrayim: for all the men who sought your soul have died. 20 And Mosheh takes his woman and his sons and rides them on a he burro and he returns to the land of Misrayim: and Mosheh takes the rod of Elohim in his hand. 21 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, When you go to return into Misrayim, see that you work all those omens I put in your hand at the face of Paroh: but I callous his heart that he not send the people away. 22 And you say to Paroh, Thus says Yah Veh: Yisra El is my son - my firstbirth: 23 and I say to you, Send my son away, that he serve me: and if you refuse to send him away, behold, I slaughter your son - your firstbirth. 24 And so be it, on the way, in the lodge, Yah Veh meets him and seeks to deathify him. 25 Then Sipporah takes a sharp stone and cuts off the foreskin of her son, so that it touches his feet and says, Surely a bloody groom are you to me. 26 - and he sends him away. Then she says, A bloody groom, because of the circumcision. 27 And Yah Veh says to Aharon, Go into the wilderness to meet Mosheh. - and he goes and meets him in the mount of Elohim and kisses him. 28 And Mosheh tells Aharon all the words that Yah Veh sent him and all the signs he misvahed him: 29 and Mosheh and Aharon go and gather all the elders of the sons of Yisra El: 30 and Aharon words all the words Yah Veh worded to Mosheh and works the signs in the eyes of the people: 31 and the people trust: and when they hear that Yah Veh visits the sons of Yisra El and that he sees their humiliation, they bow and prostrate.
