1 A Mojsije odgovori i reče: Ali neće mi verovati ni poslušati glas moj; jer će reći: Nije ti se Gospod javio. 2 A Gospod mu reče: Šta ti je to u ruci? A on odgovori: Štap. 3 A Bog mu reče: Baci ga na zemlju. I baci ga na zemlju, a on posta zmija. I Mojsije pobeže od nje. 4 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Pruži ruku svoju, pa je uhvati za rep. I pruži ruku svoju, i uhvati je, i opet posta štap u ruci njegovoj. 5 To učini, reče Gospod, da veruju da ti se javio Gospod Bog otaca njihovih, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev. 6 I opet mu reče Gospod: Turi sada ruku svoju u nedra svoja. I on turi ruku svoju u nedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz nedara, a to ruka mu gubava, bela kao sneg. 7 A Bog mu reče: Turi opet ruku svoju u nedra svoja. I opet turi ruku svoju u nedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz nedara, a to opet postala kao i ostalo telo njegovo. 8 Tako, reče Bog, ako ti ne uzveruju i ne poslušaju glas tvoj za prvi znak, poslušaće za drugi znak. 9 Ako li ne uzveruju ni za ta dva znaka i ne poslušaju glas tvoj, a ti zahvati vode iz reke, i prolij na zemlju, i pretvoriće se voda koju zahvatiš iz reke, i provrći će se u krv na zemlji. 10 A Mojsije reče Gospodu: Molim Ti se, Gospode, nisam rečit čovek, niti sam pre bio niti sam otkako si progovorio sa slugom svojim, nego sam sporih usta i sporog jezika. 11 A Gospod mu reče: Ko je dao usta čoveku? Ili ko može stvoriti nemog ili gluvog ili okatog ili slepog? Zar ne ja, Gospod? 12 Idi dakle, ja ću biti s ustima tvojim, i učiću te šta ćeš govoriti. 13 A Mojsije reče: Molim Te, Gospode, pošlji onog koga treba da pošalješ. 14 I razgnevi se Gospod na Mojsija, i reče mu: Nije li ti brat Aron Levit? Znam da je on rečit; i evo on će te sresti, i kad te vidi obradovaće se u srcu svom. 15 Njemu ćeš kazati i metnućeš ove reči u usta njegova, i ja ću biti s tvojim ustima i s njegovim ustima, i učiću vas šta ćete činiti. 16 I on će mesto tebe govoriti narodu, i on će biti tebi mesto usta, a ti ćeš biti njemu mesto Boga. 17 A taj štap uzmi u ruku svoju, njim ćeš činiti čudesa. 18 I otide Mojsije, i vrati se k Jotoru tastu svom, i reče mu: Pusti me da idem, da se vratim k braći svojoj u Misiru, da vidim jesu li još u životu. I reče Jotor Mojsiju: Idi s mirom. 19 I reče Gospod Mojsiju u zemlji madijanskoj: Idi, vrati se u Misir, jer su pomrli svi koji su tražili dušu tvoju. 20 I uze Mojsije ženu svoju i sinove svoje, i posadi ih na magarca, i pođe natrag u zemlju misirsku. I uze Mojsije štap Božji u ruku svoju. 21 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Kad otideš i vratiš se u Misir, gledaj da učiniš pred Faraonom sva čudesa koja ti metnuh u ruku: a ja ću učiniti da mu otvrdne srce i ne pusti narod. 22 A ti ćeš reći Faraonu: Ovako kaže Gospod: Izrailj je sin moj, prvenac moj. 23 I kazah ti: Pusti sina mog da mi posluži. A ti ga ne hte pustiti; evo ja ću ubiti sina tvog, prvenca tvog. 24 I kad beše na putu u gostionici, dođe k njemu Gospod i htede da ga ubije. 25 A Sefora uze oštar nož, i obreza sina svog, i okrajak baci k nogama njegovim govoreći: Ti si mi krvav zaručnik. 26 Tada ga ostavi Gospod; a ona radi obrezanja reče: Krvav zaručnik. 27 A Gospod reče Aronu: Iziđi u pustinju na susret Mojsiju. I otide i srete ga na gori Božijoj, i poljubi ga. 28 I Mojsije kaza Aronu sve reči Gospodnje, za koje ga posla, i sve znake koje mu zapovedi. 29 I otidoše Mojsije i Aron, i skupiše sve starešine sinova Izrailjevih. 30 I Aron kaza sve reči, koje beše rekao Gospod Mojsiju, a Mojsije učini znake pred narodom. 31 I narod verova; i razumeše da je Gospod pohodio sinove Izrailjeve i video nevolju njihovu; i savivši se pokloniše se.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And nevertheless Moses feared and fled. What is it that Moses fled from that serpent?

Thus Moses also first is in fear of the serpent, and not merely in fear, but even with much distress: and then he sees that strange thing come to pass. So these too, having first looked to perish, were then saved, that having confessed the danger, they might learn the greatness of the miracle.

… have a thing which without doubt we can ascribe to them; the dyings of the beasts, the dyings of the first-born, and this especially whence all these things proceeded, namely, the hardening of heart, so that they would not let go the people of God. For when God is said to make this most iniquitous and malignant obstinacy, He maketh …

… in behalf of heartless and disobedient men; and by the very persons who were saved by them, they were brought into extreme danger; and each of them wishing to withdraw men from idolatry; and each being unlearned; for the one was of a "slow tongue," and dull of speech, and the other for his part also somewhat of the rudest …
