Then the Lord said to him, \u201cReach out your hand and take it by the tail.\u201d So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. \u201cThis,\u201d said the Lord, \u201cis so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers\u2014the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob\u2014has appeared to you.\u201d Exodus 4:2-5 (NIV)
