Moses Given Powers

1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they won’t believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they will say, The LORD hasn’t appeared unto you.

וַיַּ֤עַן מֹשֶׁה֙ וַיֹּ֔אמֶר וְהֵן֙ לֹֽא־יַאֲמִ֣ינוּ לִ֔י וְלֹ֥א יִשְׁמְע֖וּ בְּקֹלִ֑י כִּ֣י יֹֽאמְר֔וּ לֹֽא־נִרְאָ֥ה אֵלֶ֖יךָ יְהוָֽה׃

1 Ἀπεκρίθη δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ εἶπεν ἐὰν οὖν μὴ πιστεύσωσίν μοι μηδὲ εἰσακούσωσιν τῆς φωνῆς μου,
ἐροῦσιν γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ὦπταί σοί ὁ θεός,
τί ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτούς; 		1 Ἀπεκρίθη δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ εἶπε· ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύσωσί μοι,
μηδὲ εἰσακούσωσι τῆς φωνῆς μου,
ἐροῦσι γάρ,
ὅτι οὐκ ὦπταί σοι ὁ Θεός,
τί ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτούς;
1 Then Mōysēs answered and said, “If then they should not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‛God has not appeared to you!’ what shall I say to them?” 1 Then Mōysēs answered and said, “If they should not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‛God has not appeared to you!’ what shall I say to them?”

2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר אֵלָ֛יו יְהוָ֖ה בְיָדֶ֑ךָ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מַטֶּֽה׃

2 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ κύριος τί τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου;
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ῥάβδος. 		2 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Κύριος· τί τοῦτό ἔστι τὸ ἐν τῇ χειρί· σου;
ὁ δὲ· εἶπε ῥάβδος.
2 Then the Lord said to him, “What is this in your hand?” And he said, “A rod.” 2 Then the Lord said to him, “What is this in your hand?” And he said, “A rod.”

3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הַשְׁלִיכֵ֣הוּ אַ֔רְצָה וַיַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥הוּ אַ֖רְצָה וַיְהִ֣י לְנָחָ֑שׁ וַיָּ֥נָס מֹשֶׁ֖ה מִפָּנָֽיו׃

3 καὶ εἶπεν ῥῖψον αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν,
καὶ ἐγένετο ὄφις· καὶ ἔφυγεν Μωυσῆς ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ. 		3 καὶ εἶπε· ῥίψον αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν,
καὶ ἐγένετο ὄφις· καὶ ἔφυγε Μωυσῆς ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.
3 And he said, “Throw it on the ground!” And he threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and Mōysēs fled from it. 3 And he said, “Throw it on the ground!” And he threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and Mōysēs fled from it.

4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה שְׁלַח֙ יָֽדְךָ֔ וֶאֱחֹ֖ז בִּזְנָבֹ֑ו וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָדֹו֙ וַיַּ֣חֲזֶק בֹּ֔ו וַיְהִ֥י לְמַטֶּ֖ה בְּכַפֹּֽו׃

4 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα καὶ ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς κέρκου· ἐκτείνας οὖν τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο τῆς κέρκου,
καὶ ἐγένετο ῥάβδος ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ· 		4 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα καὶ ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς κέρκου· ἐκτείνας οὖν τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο τῆς κέρκου,
καὶ ἐγένετο ῥάβδος ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ·
4 And the Lord said to Mōysēs, “Stretch out your hand, and seize the tail!” Then he stretched out his hand and seized the tail, and it became a rod in his hand, 4 And the Lord said to Mōysēs, “Stretch out your hand, and seize the tail!” Then he stretched out his hand and seized the tail, and it became a rod in his hand,

5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared unto you.

לְמַ֣עַן יַאֲמִ֔ינוּ כִּֽי־נִרְאָ֥ה אֵלֶ֛יךָ יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבֹתָ֑ם אֱלֹהֵ֧י אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִצְחָ֖ק וֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃

5 ἵνα πιστεύσωσίν σοί ὅτι ὦπταί σοί κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν,
θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ καὶ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ θεὸς Ἰακώβ. 		5 ἵνα πιστεύσωσί σοι ὅτι ὦπταί σοι ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν,
Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ.
5 in order that they may believe you, that the Lord, the God of their fathers, God of Habraam and God of Isaak and God of Jakōb, has appeared to you. 5 in order that they may believe you, that the Lord, the God of their fathers, God of Habraam and God of Isaak and God of Jakōb, has appeared to you.

6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ יְהוָ֨ה לֹ֜ו עֹ֗וד הָֽבֵא־נָ֤א יָֽדְךָ֙ בְּחֵיקֶ֔ךָ וַיָּבֵ֥א יָדֹ֖ו בְּחֵיקֹ֑ו וַיֹּ֣וצִאָ֔הּ וְהִנֵּ֥ה יָדֹ֖ו מְצֹרַ֥עַת כַּשָּֽׁלֶג׃

6 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ κύριος πάλιν εἰσένεγκε τὴν χεῖρά σου εἰς τὸν κόλπον σου.
καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ κόλπου αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ χιών. 		6 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Κύριος πάλιν· εἰσένεγκον τὴν χεῖρά σου εἰς τὸν κόλπον σου.
καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξήνεγκε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ κόλπου αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ χιών.
6 Now the Lord said to him again, “Put your hand into your bosom!” And he put the hand into his bosom, and he brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow. 6 Now the Lord said to him again, “Put your hand into your bosom!” And he put the hand into his bosom, and he brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.

7 And he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הָשֵׁ֤ב יָֽדְךָ֙ אֶל־חֵיקֶ֔ךָ וַיָּ֥שֶׁב יָדֹ֖ו אֶל־חֵיקֹ֑ו וַיֹּֽוצִאָהּ֙ מֵֽחֵיקֹ֔ו וְהִנֵּה־שָׁ֖בָה כִּבְשָׂרֹֽו׃

7 καὶ εἶπεν πάλιν εἰσένεγκε τὴν χεῖρά σου εἰς τὸν κόλπον σου.
καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τὴν χεῖρα εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτὴν ἐκ τοῦ κόλπου αὐτοῦ,
καὶ πάλιν ἀπεκατέστη εἰς τὴν χρόαν τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ. 		7 καὶ εἶπε πάλιν· εἰσένεγκον τὴν χεῖρά σου εἰς τὸν κόλπον σου.
καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τὴν χεῖρα εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτὴν ἐκ τοῦ κόλπου αὐτοῦ,
καὶ πάλιν ἀπεκατέστη εἰς τὴν χρόαν τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτῆς.
7 And he said, “Put your hand into your bosom again!” And he put the hand into his bosom and brought it out of his bosom, and again it was restored to the colour of his flesh. 7 And he said, “Put your hand into your bosom again!” And he put the hand into his bosom and brought it out of his bosom, and again it was restored to the colour of his flesh.

8 And it shall come to pass, if they won’t believe you, neither listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

וְהָיָה֙ אִם־לֹ֣א יַאֲמִ֣ינוּ לָ֔ךְ וְלֹ֣א יִשְׁמְע֔וּ לְקֹ֖ל הָאֹ֣ת הָרִאשֹׁ֑ון וְהֶֽאֱמִ֔ינוּ לְקֹ֖ל הָאֹ֥ת הָאַחֲרֹֽון׃

8 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ πιστεύσωσίν σοί μηδὲ εἰσακούσωσιν τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ σημείου τοῦ πρώτου,
πιστεύσουσίν σοί τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ σημείου τοῦ ἐσχάτου. 		8 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ πιστεύσωσί σοι,
μηδὲ εἰσακούσωσι τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ σημείου τοῦ πρώτου,
πιστεύσουσί σοι τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ σημείου τοῦ δευτέρου.
8 Now if they should not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you because of the voice of the last sign. 8 Now if they should not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you because of the voice of the last sign.

9 And it shall come to pass, if they won’t believe also these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

וְהָיָ֡ה אִם־לֹ֣א יַאֲמִ֡ינוּ גַּם֩ לִשְׁנֵ֨י הָאֹתֹ֜ות הָאֵ֗לֶּה וְלֹ֤א יִשְׁמְעוּן֙ לְקֹלֶ֔ךָ וְלָקַחְתָּ֙ מִמֵּימֵ֣י הַיְאֹ֔ר וְשָׁפַכְתָּ֖ הַיַּבָּשָׁ֑ה וְהָי֤וּ הַמַּ֙יִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּקַּ֣ח מִן־הַיְאֹ֔ר וְהָי֥וּ לְדָ֖ם בַּיַּבָּֽשֶׁת׃

9 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύσωσίν σοί τοῖς δυσὶ σημείοις τούτοις μηδὲ εἰσακούσωσιν τῆς φωνῆς σου,
λήμψῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐκχεεῖς ἐπὶ τὸ ξηρόν,
καὶ ἔσται τὸ ὕδωρ,
ὃ ἐὰν λάβῃς ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ,
αἷμα ἐπὶ τοῦ ξηροῦ. 		9 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύσωσί σοι τοῖς δυσὶ σημείοις τούτοις,
μηδὲ εἰσακούσωσι τῆς φωνῆς σου,
λήψῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐκχεεῖς ἐπὶ τὸ ξηρόν,
καὶ ἔσται τὸ ὕδωρ,
ὃν ἐὰν λάβω ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ,
αἷμα ἐπὶ τοῦ ξηροῦ.
9 And it will be if they should not believe you for these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some of the river’s water and pour it on the dry ground, and the water, whatever you take from the river, will be blood on the dry ground. 9 And it will be if they should not believe you for these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some of the river’s water and pour it on the dry ground, and the water, whatever you take from the river, will be blood on the dry ground.

10 And Moses said unto the LORD, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before, nor since you have spoken unto your servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֣ה אֶל־יְהוָה֮ בִּ֣י אֲדֹנָי֒ לֹא֩ אִ֨ישׁ דְּבָרִ֜ים אָנֹ֗כִי גַּ֤ם מִתְּמֹול֙ גַּ֣ם מִשִּׁלְשֹׁ֔ם גַּ֛ם מֵאָ֥ז דַּבֶּרְךָ אֶל־עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֧י כְבַד־פֶּ֛ה וּכְבַ֥ד לָשֹׁ֖ון אָנֹֽכִי׃

10 εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον δέομαι,
κύριε,
οὐχ ἱκανός εἰμι πρὸ τῆς ἐχθὲς οὐδὲ πρὸ τῆς τρίτης ἡμέρας οὐδὲ ἀφ’ οὗ ἤρξω λαλεῖν τῷ θεράποντί σου· ἰσχνόφωνος καὶ βραδύγλωσσος ἐγώ εἰμι. 		10 εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον· δέομαι,
Κύριε,
οὐχ ἱκανός εἰμι πρὸ τῆς χθές,
οὐδὲ πρὸ τῆς τρίτης ἡμέρας,
οὐδὲ ἀφ’ οὗ ἤρξω λαλεῖν τῷ θεράποντί σου· ἰσχνόφωνος καὶ βραδύγλωσσος ἐγώ εἰμι.
10 But Mōysēs said to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I am incompetent before yesterday or the third day or since you began to speak to your attendant. I am weak-voiced and slow-tongued.” 10 But Mōysēs said to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I am incompetent before yesterday or the third day or since you began to speak to your attendant. I am weak-voiced and slow-tongued.”

11 And the LORD said unto him, Who has made man’s mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? haven’t I the LORD?

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו מִ֣י שָׂ֣ם פֶּה֮ לָֽאָדָם֒ אֹ֚ו מִֽי־יָשׂ֣וּם אִלֵּ֔ם אֹ֣ו חֵרֵ֔שׁ אֹ֥ו פִקֵּ֖חַ אֹ֣ו עִוֵּ֑ר הֲלֹ֥א אָנֹכִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃

11 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν τίς ἔδωκεν στόμα ἀνθρώπῳ,
καὶ τίς ἐποίησεν δύσκωφον καὶ κωφόν,
βλέποντα καὶ τυφλόν;
οὐκ ἐγὼ ὁ θεός; 		11 εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· τίς ἔδωκε στόμα ἀνθρώπῳ,
καὶ τίς ἐποίησε δύσκωφον καὶ κωφόν,
βλέποντα καὶ τυφλόν;
οὐκ ἐγὼ ὁ Θεός;
11 Then the Lord said to Mōysēs, “Who gave a mouth to a person, and who made him deaf and mute, seeing and blind? Am I not God? 11 Then the Lord said to Mōysēs, “Who gave a mouth to a person, and who made him deaf and mute, seeing and blind? Am I not God?

12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.

וְעַתָּ֖ה לֵ֑ךְ וְאָנֹכִי֙ אֶֽהְיֶ֣ה עִם־פִּ֔יךָ וְהֹורֵיתִ֖יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּדַבֵּֽר׃

12 καὶ νῦν πορεύου,
καὶ ἐγὼ ἀνοίξω τὸ στόμα σου καὶ συμβιβάσω σὲ ὃ μέλλεις λαλῆσαι. 		12 καὶ νῦν πορεύου,
καὶ ἐγὼ ἀνοίξω τὸ στόμα σου,
καὶ συμβιβάσω σε,
ὃν μέλλεις λαλῆσαι.
12 And now go, and I will open your mouth and teach you what you are going to speak.” 12 And now go, and I will open your mouth and teach you what you are going to speak.”

13 And he said, Oh my Lord, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.

וַיֹּ֖אמֶר בִּ֣י אֲדֹנָ֑י שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֖א בְּיַד־תִּשְׁלָֽח׃

13 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς δέομαι,
κύριε,
προχείρισαι δυνάμενον ἄλλον,
ὃν ἀποστελεῖς. 		13 καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς· δέομαι,
Κύριε,
προχείρισαι δυνάμενον ἄλλον,
ὃν ἀποστελεῖς.
13 And Mōysēs said, “Please, Lord, appoint another able person, whom you will send.” 13 And Mōysēs said, “Please, Lord, appoint another able person, whom you will send.”

Aaron to Be Moses’ Mouthpiece

14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֨ף יְהוָ֜ה בְּמֹשֶׁ֗ה וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הֲלֹ֨א אַהֲרֹ֤ן אָחִ֙יךָ֙ הַלֵּוִ֔י יָדַ֕עְתִּי כִּֽי־דַבֵּ֥ר יְדַבֵּ֖ר ה֑וּא וְגַ֤ם הִנֵּה־הוּא֙ יֹצֵ֣א לִקְרָאתֶ֔ךָ וְרָאֲךָ֖ וְשָׂמַ֥ח בְּלִבֹּֽו׃

14 καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὀργῇ κύριος ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν εἶπεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ Ἀαρὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου ὁ Λευίτης;
ἐπίσταμαι ὅτι λαλῶν λαλήσει αὐτός σοι· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐξελεύσεται εἰς συνάντησίν σοί καὶ ἰδών σὲ χαρήσεται ἐν ἑαυτῷ. 		14 καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὀργῇ Κύριος ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν εἶπε· οὐκ ἰδοὺ Ἀαρὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου ὁ Λευΐτης; ἐπίσταμαι ὅτι λαλῶν λαλήσει αὐτός σοι· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐξελεύσεται εἰς συνάντησίν σοι καὶ ἰδών σε χαρήσεται ἐν ἑαυτῷ.
14 And after he was enraged with anger towards Mōysēs, the Lord said, “Look! isn’t Aaron your brother, the Levite? I know that when he speaks, he will speak for you. And Look! he will come out to meet you, and after he sees you, he will be glad in himself. 14 And after he was enraged with anger towards Mōysēs, the Lord said, “Look! isn’t Aaron your brother, the Levite? I know that when he speaks, he will speak for you. And Look! he will come out to meet you, and after he sees you, he will be glad in himself.

15 And you shall speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

וְדִבַּרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֔יו וְשַׂמְתָּ֥ אֶת־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים בְּפִ֑יו וְאָנֹכִ֗י אֶֽהְיֶ֤ה עִם־פִּ֙יךָ֙ וְעִם־פִּ֔יהוּ וְהֹורֵיתִ֣י אֶתְכֶ֔ם אֵ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֽׂוּן׃

15 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ δώσεις τὰ ῥήματά μου εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγὼ ἀνοίξω τὸ στόμα σου καὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ συμβιβάσω ὑμᾶς ἃ ποιήσετε. 15 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ δώσεις τὰ ῥήματά μου εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγὼ ἀνοίξω τὸ στόμα σου καὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ συμβιβάσω ὑμᾶς ἃ ποιήσετε.
15 And you shall speak to him and put my words in his mouth. And I will open your mouth and his mouth and will teach you what you shall do. 15 And you shall speak to him and put my words in his mouth. And I will open your mouth and his mouth and will teach you what you shall do.

16 And he shall be your spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.

וְדִבֶּר־ה֥וּא לְךָ֖ אֶל־הָעָ֑ם וְהָ֤יָה הוּא֙ יִֽהְיֶה־לְּךָ֣ לְפֶ֔ה וְאַתָּ֖ה תִּֽהְיֶה־לֹּ֥ו לֵֽאלֹהִֽים׃

16 καὶ αὐτός σοί προσλαλήσει πρὸς τὸν λαόν,
καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται σου στόμα,
σὺ δὲ αὐτῷ ἔσῃ τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν. 		16 καὶ αὐτός σοι λαλήσει πρὸς τὸν λαόν,
καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται σου στόμα,
σὺ δὲ αὐτῷ ἔσῃ τὰ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν.
16 And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be to him in the things pertaining to God. 16 And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be to him in the things pertaining to God.

17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do signs.

וְאֶת־הַמַּטֶּ֥ה הַזֶּ֖ה תִּקַּ֣ח בְּיָדֶ֑ךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֶׂה־בֹּ֖ו אֶת־הָאֹתֹֽת׃

17 καὶ τὴν ῥάβδον ταύτην τὴν στραφεῖσαν εἰς ὄφιν λήμψῃ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου,
ἐν ᾗ ποιήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ τὰ σημεῖα. 		17 καὶ τὴν ῥάβδον ταύτην τὴν στραφεῖσαν εἰς ὄφιν λήψῃ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου,
ἐν ᾗ ποιήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ τὰ σημεῖα.
17 And this rod, that was turned into a snake, you shall take in your hand, with which you shall perform the signs with it.” 17 And this rod, that was turned into a snake, you shall take in your hand, with which you shall perform the signs with it.”

18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray you, and return unto my brothers which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ מֹשֶׁ֜ה וַיָּ֣שָׁב ׀ אֶל־יֶ֣תֶר חֹֽתְנֹ֗ו וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ אֵ֣לְכָה נָּ֗א וְאָשׁ֙וּבָה֙ אֶל־אַחַ֣י אֲשֶׁר־בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם וְאֶרְאֶ֖ה הַעֹודָ֣ם חַיִּ֑ים וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יִתְרֹ֛ו לְמֹשֶׁ֖ה לֵ֥ךְ לְשָׁלֹֽום׃

18 ἐπορεύθη δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν πρὸς Ἰοθὸρ τὸν γαμβρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει πορεύσομαι καὶ ἀποστρέψω πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου τοὺς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ὄψομαι εἰ ἔτι ζῶσιν.
καὶ εἶπεν Ἰοθὸρ Μωυσῇ βάδιζε ὑγιαίνων. 		18 Ἐπορεύθη δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ ἀπέστρεψε πρὸς Ἰοθὸρ τὸν γαμβρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει· πορεύσομαι καὶ ἀποστρέψω πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου τοὺς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ὄψομαι,
εἰ ἔτι ζῶσι.
καὶ εἶπε Ἰοθὸρ Μωυσῇ· βάδιζε ὑγιαίνων.
μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας τὰς πολλὰς ἐκείνας ἐτελεύτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου.
18 Now Mōysēs went and returned to Jothor, his father-in-law, and said, “I shall go and return to my brothers in Aigypt and see if they are still living.” And Jothor said to Mōysēs, “Go in health.” 18 Now Mōysēs went and returned to Jothor, his father-in-law, and said, “I shall go and return to my brothers in Aigypt and see if they are still living.” And Jothor said to Mōysēs, “Go in health.” And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.

19 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought your life.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֤ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה֙ בְּמִדְיָ֔ן לֵ֖ךְ שֻׁ֣ב מִצְרָ֑יִם כִּי־מֵ֙תוּ֙ כָּל־הָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים הַֽמְבַקְשִׁ֖ים אֶת־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃

19 μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας τὰς πολλὰς ἐκείνας ἐτελεύτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου.
εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἐν Μαδιὰμ βάδιζε ἄπελθε εἰς Αἴγυπτον· τεθνήκασιν γὰρ πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντές σου τὴν ψυχήν. 		19 εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἐν Μαδιάμ· βάδιζε,
ἄπελθε εἰς Αἴγυπτον· τεθνήκασι γὰρ πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντές σου τὴν ψυχήν.
19 And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died. And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, “Go, return into Aigypt, for all those who were seeking your soul are dead.” 19 And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, “Go, return into Aigypt, for all those who were seeking your soul are dead.”

20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

וַיִּקַּ֨ח מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶת־אִשְׁתֹּ֣ו וְאֶת־בָּנָ֗יו וַיַּרְכִּבֵם֙ עַֽל־הַחֲמֹ֔ר וַיָּ֖שָׁב אַ֣רְצָה מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיִּקַּ֥ח מֹשֶׁ֛ה אֶת־מַטֵּ֥ה הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּיָדֹֽו׃

20 ἀναλαβὼν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὰ παιδία ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὰ ἐπὶ τὰ ὑποζύγια καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον· ἔλαβεν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ. 20 ἀναλαβὼν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὰ παιδία ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὰ ἐπὶ τὰ ὑποζύγια καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον· ἔλαβε δὲ Μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.
20 Then Mōysēs took his wife and children and put them on beasts of burden, and he returned to Aigypt. And Mōysēs took the rod from God in his hand. 20 Then Mōysēs took his wife and children and put them on beasts of burden, and he returned to Aigypt. And Mōysēs took the rod from God in his hand.

21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָה֮ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה֒ בְּלֶכְתְּךָ֙ לָשׁ֣וּב מִצְרַ֔יְמָה רְאֵ֗ה כָּל־הַמֹּֽפְתִים֙ אֲשֶׁר־שַׂ֣מְתִּי בְיָדֶ֔ךָ וַעֲשִׂיתָ֖ם לִפְנֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֑ה. וַאֲנִי֙ אֲחַזֵּ֣ק אֶת־לִבֹּ֔ו וְלֹ֥א יְשַׁלַּ֖ח אֶת־הָעָֽם׃
