Exodus 4 · Grade 2
Moses Asks God to Send Someone Else
Read the Story
Moses was worried. He worried that the people would not believe him. God asked, What is that in your hand? Moses said, A rod. God said, Throw it on the ground. It became a snake! When Moses picked it up by the tail, it became a rod again.
Then Moses said he was not good at talking. God said he made Moses' mouth, and he would help him speak. But Moses said, Please send someone else.
God was not pleased, but He sent Moses' brother Aaron to help. Aaron would speak for Moses. Moses and Aaron told God's people what God said. The people believed, and they bowed down and worshiped God.
