6Furthermore, the LORD said to Moses, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, his hand was leprous,white as snow.
7“Put your hand back inside your cloak,” said the LORD.
So Moses put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his skin.
8And the LORD said, “If they refuse to believe you or heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe that of the second. 9But if they do not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. Then the water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.”
“The Hebrew word for leprosy covered a number of assorted diseases much as our word ‘cancer’ currently does.” (Kaiser)
The first two signs, a rod and a hand had taken something good and turned it into something evil, a serpent and a leprous hand which were restored back to something good. These signs did more for Moses doubt before they spoke to anyone else.
The third sign, water into blood was judgement and the blood was not restored back to water. It was final. If the first two signs didn’t turn the heart of the people maybe the third sign of judgement would.
What signs has the Lord done in your life?
One major sign in my life was His mercy and salvation!
Remember this song about signs? :-)
