Êxodo 4:7 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 4:7

And he said, put thine hand into thy bosom again
With the leprosy on it: and he put his hand into his bosom again, and plucked it out of his
bosom;
quickly after he had put it in: and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh;
it was cured of the leprosy, and recovered its colour, and was as sound as before, and as any other part of his body. This was a very astonishing miracle, that he should be at once smote with a leprosy; that this should be only in his hand, and not in any other part of his body; and that it should be cured immediately, without the use of any means; and by this miracle Moses, and the Israelites, might be instructed and confirmed in the power of God, that he that could so suddenly inflict such a disease, and so easily cure it, was able to deliver them out of captivity, which was as death; and that however until Moses might be in himself to be a deliverer of the people, signified by his weak and leprous hand, yet being quickened and strengthened by the Lord, would be able to answer to the character; though, after all, the deliverance must be imputed not to his hand and power, but to the mighty hand and power of God.

Êxodo 4:7 In-Context

5 E disse o SENHOR: “Isso é para que eles acreditem que o Deus dos seus antepassados, o Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque, o Deus de Jacó, apareceu a você”.

6 Disse-lhe mais o SENHOR: “Coloque a mão no peito”. Moisés obedeceu e, quando a retirou, ela estava leprosa; parecia neve.

7 Ordenou-lhe depois: “Agora, coloque de novo a mão no peito”. Moisés tornou a pôr a mão no peito e, quando a tirou, ela estava novamente como o restante da sua pele.

8 Prosseguiu o SENHOR: “Se eles não acreditarem em você nem derem atenção ao primeiro sinal milagroso, acreditarão no segundo.

9 E, se ainda assim não acreditarem nesses dois sinais nem lhe derem ouvidos, tire um pouco de água do Nilo e derrame-a em terra seca. Quando você derramar essa água em terra seca, ela se transformará em sangue”.
