And the LORD said
unto Moses
, See
, I have made
thee a god
to Pharaoh
: and Aaron
thy brother
shall be thy prophet
.
Thou shalt speak all that I command
thee: and Aaron
thy brother
shall speak
unto Pharaoh
, that he send
the children
of Israel
out of his land
.
And I will harden Pharaoh's
heart
, and multiply
my signs
and my wonders
in the land
of Egypt
.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken
unto you, that I may lay
my hand
upon Egypt
, and bring forth
mine armies
, and my people
the children
of Israel
, out of the land
of Egypt
by great
judgments
.
And the Egyptians shall know
that I am the LORD
, when I stretch forth
mine hand
upon Egypt
, and bring out
the children
of Israel
from among
them.
And Moses and Aaron
did
as the LORD
commanded
them, so did
they.
And Moses was fourscore
years
old
, and Aaron
fourscore
and three
years
old
, when they spake
unto Pharaoh
.
And the LORD spake
unto Moses
and unto Aaron
, saying
,
When Pharaoh shall speak
unto you, saying
, Shew
a miracle
for you: then thou shalt say
unto Aaron
, Take
thy rod
, and cast
it before
Pharaoh
, and it shall become a serpent
.
And Moses and Aaron
went in
unto Pharaoh
, and they did
so as the LORD
had commanded
: and Aaron
cast down
his rod
before
Pharaoh
, and before
his servants
, and it became a serpent
.
Then Pharaoh also called
the wise men
and the sorcerers
: now the magicians
of Egypt
, they also did
in like manner
with their enchantments
.
For they cast down every man
his rod
, and they became serpents
: but Aaron's
rod
swallowed up
their rods
.
And he hardened Pharaoh's
heart
, that he hearkened
not unto them; as the LORD
had said
.
And the LORD said
unto Moses
, Pharaoh's
heart
is hardened
, he refuseth
to let the people
go
.
Get thee unto Pharaoh
in the morning
; lo, he goeth out
unto the water
; and thou shalt stand
by the river's
brink
against he come
; and the rod
which was turned
to a serpent
shalt thou take
in thine hand
.
And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD
God
of the Hebrews
hath sent
me unto thee, saying
, Let my people
go
, that they may serve
me in the wilderness
: and, behold, hitherto
thou wouldest not hear
.
Thus saith the LORD
, In this thou shalt know
that I am the LORD
: behold, I will smite
with the rod
that is in mine hand
upon the waters
which are in the river
, and they shall be turned
to blood
.
And the fish that is in the river
shall die
, and the river
shall stink
; and the Egyptians
shall lothe
to drink
of the water
of the river
.
And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, Say
unto Aaron
, Take
thy rod
, and stretch out
thine hand
upon the waters
of Egypt
, upon their streams
, upon their rivers
, and upon their ponds
, and upon all their pools
of water
, that they may become blood
; and that there may be blood
throughout all the land
of Egypt
, both in vessels of wood
, and in vessels of stone
.
And Moses and Aaron
did
so, as the LORD
commanded
; and he lifted up
the rod
, and smote
the waters
that were in the river
, in the sight
of Pharaoh
, and in the sight
of his servants
; and all the waters
that were in the river
were turned
to blood
.
And the fish that was in the river
died
; and the river
stank
, and the Egyptians
could
not drink
of the water
of the river
; and there was blood
throughout all the land
of Egypt
.
And the magicians of Egypt
did
so with their enchantments
: and Pharaoh's
heart
was hardened
, neither did he hearken
unto them; as the LORD
had said
.
And Pharaoh turned
and went
into his house
, neither did he set
his heart
to this
also.
And all the Egyptians digged
round about
the river
for water
to drink
; for they could
not drink
of the water
of the river
.
And seven days
were fulfilled
, after
that the LORD
had smitten
the river
.
