✦ MADE SIMPLE

Then God said, 'Put your hand inside your robe again.' So Moses put his hand back inside his robe, and when he pulled it out, it had returned to normal, just like his other hand.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God shows Moses that He can instantly heal and restore what He has changed, demonstrating His complete power over all things.

📚 Historical Context

This occurs during Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush, where God is giving Moses miraculous signs to prove his divine calling to the Israelites. Just moments before, God had made Moses' hand leprous (white as snow), and now He restores it completely. These signs were meant to convince both Moses and the Hebrew people that God had truly sent him to lead them out of Egyptian slavery.
