Just a stick

Exodus 4:2–3 (NLT) – Then the Lord asked him, “What is that in your hand?”  “A shepherd’s staff,” Moses replied. 3 “Throw it down on the ground,” the Lord told him. So Moses threw down the staff, and it turned into a snake! Moses jumped back.

Exodus 4:4 (NLT) – Then the Lord told him, “Reach out and grab its tail.” So Moses reached out and grabbed it, and it turned back into a shepherd’s staff in his hand.
