New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Exodus 3
18 They will pay heed to what you say; and you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, ’The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, except under compulsion.
20 So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and after that he will let you go.
21 I will grant this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed.
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians."
Exodus 4
1 Then Moses said, "What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say, ’The Lord has not appeared to you.’"
2 The Lord said to him, "What is that in your hand?" And he said, "A staff."
3 Then He said, "Throw it on the ground." So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.
4 But the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail"-so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand-
5 "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."
6 The Lord furthermore said to him, "Now put your hand into your bosom." So he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
