And the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], See [07200], I have made [05414] thee a god [0430] to Pharaoh [06547]: and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251] shall be thy prophet [05030].
Thou shalt speak [01696] all that I command [06680] thee: and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251] shall speak [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547], that he send [07971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of his land [0776].
And I will harden [07185] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], and multiply [07235] my signs [0226] and my wonders [04159] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
But Pharaoh [06547] shall not hearken [08085] unto you, that I may lay [05414] my hand [03027] upon Egypt [04714], and bring forth [03318] mine armies [06635], and my people [05971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] by great [01419] judgments [08201].
And the Egyptians [04714] shall know [03045] that I am the Lord [03068], when I stretch forth [05186] mine hand [03027] upon Egypt [04714], and bring out [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from among [08432] them.
And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did [06213] as the Lord [03068] commanded [06680] them, so did [06213] they.
And Moses [04872] was fourscore [08084] years [08141] old [01121], and Aaron [0175] fourscore [08084] and three [07969] years [08141] old [01121], when they spake [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547].
And the Lord [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559],
When Pharaoh [06547] shall speak [01696] unto you, saying [0559], Shew [05414] a miracle [04159] for you: then thou shalt say [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] thy rod [04294], and cast [07993] it before [06440] Pharaoh [06547], and it shall become a serpent [08577].
And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went in [0935] unto Pharaoh [06547], and they did [06213] so as the Lord [03068] had commanded [06680]: and Aaron [0175] cast down [07993] his rod [04294] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547], and before [06440] his servants [05650], and it became a serpent [08577].
Then Pharaoh [06547] also called [07121] the wise men [02450] and the sorcerers [03784]: now the magicians [02748] of Egypt [04714], they also did [06213] in like manner [03651] with their enchantments [03858].
For they cast down [07993] every man [0376] his rod [04294], and they became serpents [08577]: but Aaron's [0175] rod [04294] swallowed up [01104] their rods [04294].
And he hardened [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], that he hearkened [08085] not unto them; as the Lord [03068] had said [01696].
And the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820] is hardened [03515], he refuseth [03985] to let the people [05971] go [07971].
Get [03212] thee unto Pharaoh [06547] in the morning [01242]; lo, he goeth out [03318] unto the water [04325]; and thou shalt stand [05324] by the river's [02975] brink [08193] against he come [07125]; and the rod [04294] which was turned [02015] to a serpent [05175] shalt thou take [03947] in thine hand [03027].
And thou shalt say [0559] unto him, The Lord [03068] God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680] hath sent [07971] me unto thee, saying [0559], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me in the wilderness [04057]: and, behold, hitherto [03541] thou wouldest not hear [08085].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], In this thou shalt know [03045] that I am the Lord [03068]: behold, I will smite [05221] with the rod [04294] that is in mine hand [03027] upon the waters [04325] which are in the river [02975], and they shall be turned [02015] to blood [01818].
And the fish [01710] that is in the river [02975] shall die [04191], and the river [02975] shall stink [0887]; and the Egyptians [04714] shall lothe [03811] to drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the river [02975].
And the Lord [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], Say [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] thy rod [04294], and stretch out [05186] thine hand [03027] upon the waters [04325] of Egypt [04714], upon their streams [05104], upon their rivers [02975], and upon their ponds [098], and upon all their pools [04723] of water [04325], that they may become blood [01818]; and that there may be blood [01818] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], both in vessels of wood [06086], and in vessels of stone [068].pools…: Heb. gathering of their waters
And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did [06213] so, as the Lord [03068] commanded [06680]; and he lifted up [07311] the rod [04294], and smote [05221] the waters [04325] that were in the river [02975], in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh [06547], and in the sight [05869] of his servants [05650]; and all the waters [04325] that were in the river [02975] were turned [02015] to blood [01818].
And the fish [01710] that was in the river [02975] died [04191]; and the river [02975] stank [0887], and the Egyptians [04714] could [03201] not drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the river [02975]; and there was blood [01818] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
And the magicians [02748] of Egypt [04714] did [06213] so with their enchantments [03909]: and Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820] was hardened [02388], neither did he hearken [08085] unto them; as the Lord [03068] had said [01696].
And Pharaoh [06547] turned [06437] and went [0935] into his house [01004], neither did he set [07896] his heart [03820] to this [02063] also.
And all the Egyptians [04714] digged [02658] round about [05439] the river [02975] for water [04325] to drink [08354]; for they could [03201] not drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the river [02975].
And seven [07651] days [03117] were fulfilled [04390], after [0310] that the Lord [03068] had smitten [05221] the river [02975].
