So Moses threw it to the ground, and it became a serpent, and he ran away from it. 4 Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Stretch out your hand and grasp its tail.' So Moses stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff again in his hand. 5 'This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.' 6 Furthermore, the LORD said to him, 'Put your hand into your cloak.' So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, his hand was diseased, like snow. 7 'Now put your hand back into your cloak,' the LORD said.

Allow me to test just once more with the fleece. Let the fleece remain dry, while dew covers the ground around it.' 40 That night, God did so. Only the fleece was dry, and the ground around it was covered with dew.
