And the LORD said furthermore unto him,
Put
now your hand into your bosom.
And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was as leprous as snow.

Just as Moses was allowed to perform miracles with a rod, so he was ordered to thrust his hand into his bosom, and when it was brought out again it was found to be leprous; then he was ordered to insert it again, and it was at once healed. This indicates that the Jewish people was to become impure by abandoning the Lord Christ but that it would recover its former health by returning to him.
