7 Disse-lhe ainda: Torna a meter a mão no seio. (E tornou a meter a mão no seio; depois tirou-a do seio, e eis que se tornara como o restante da sua carne.)

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 para que eles creiam que te apareceu o Senhor, o Deus de seus pais, o Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque e o Deus de Jacó.

6 Disse-lhe mais o Senhor: Mete agora a mão no seio. E meteu a mão no seio. E quando a tirou, eis que a mão estava leprosa, branca como a neve.

7 Disse-lhe ainda: Torna a meter a mão no seio. (E tornou a meter a mão no seio; depois tirou-a do seio, e eis que se tornara como o restante da sua carne.)

8 E sucederá que, se eles não te crerem, nem atentarem para o primeiro sinal, crerão ao segundo sinal.

9 E se ainda não crerem a estes dois sinais, nem ouvirem a tua voz, então tomarás da água do rio, e a derramarás sobre a terra seca; e a água que tomares do rio tornar-se-á em sangue sobre a terra seca.
