What happened to Moses' hand when he put it into his cloak in Exodus 4:1-7?

It became leprous It became blind It disappeared It became normal

Correct Answer:

It became leprous

Explanation:

A sign of divine power used to authenticate Moses’ calling. When he pulled his hand from his cloak, it appeared leprous, white as snow—a startling, temporary condition meant to show that Moses spoke with God’s authority. In the biblical context, leprosy symbolized impurity and divine action, so this sudden transformation would make the people pay attention and trust that Moses was empowered by God. The following action—Putting the hand back in and withdrawing it again, restoring it to normal—demonstrates that God can both afflict and heal, reinforcing the messenger’s credibility.
