30 : Basic English : Exodus 4,5; Psalms 6,7 1. And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.
2. And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.
3. And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.
4. And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand:)
5. So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.

4. And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.
5. Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.
