When Moses' staff became a snake, how did God tell him to grab it?

Answer: By the tail

Moses ran from the snake, but the LORD said, "Grab it by the tail," and it turned back into a staff in his hand.

““Throw it on the ground,” said the LORD. So Moses threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and he ran from it. “Stretch out your hand and grab it by the tail,” the LORD said to Moses, who reached out his hand and caught the snake, and it turned back into a staff in his hand.”— Exodus 4:3-4 (BSB)
