Exodus

Exodus 4:6–7

6Furthermore, the LORD said to Moses, “Put your hand inside your cloak.b” So he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, his hand was leprous,c 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.
