Exodus 7
7:1And the lord said to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made you as a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.
7:2But you shall speak to him all as much as I give charge to you. But Aaron your brother will speak to Pharaoh, so as to send the sons of Israel from out of his land.
7:3But I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and I will multiply my signs, and the miracles in the land of Egypt.
7:4And Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will put my hand against Egypt, and I will lead out with my power my people the sons of Israel from out of the land of Egypt with great punishment.
7:5And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the lord, stretching out my hand against Egypt; and I will lead the sons of Israel from their midst.
7:6And Moses and Aaron did just as the lord gave charge to them -- thus they did.
7:7And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
7:8And the lord said to Moses and Aaron, saying,
7:9And if Pharaoh should speak to you, saying, Give to us a sign or miracle, then your brother Aaron shall say, Take the rod and toss it upon the ground before Pharaoh, and before his attendants, and it will be a serpent.
7:10And Moses and Aaron entered before Pharaoh, and his attendants. And they did thus, as the lord gave charge to them. And Aaron tossed the rod before Pharaoh, and before his attendants. And it became a serpent.
7:11And Pharaoh called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers. And the enchanters of the Egyptians also did their sorceries likewise.
7:12And each tossed his rod, and they became serpents. And the rod of Aaron swallowed down the rods of those men.
7:13And the heart of Pharaoh grew strong, and he did not listen to them as the lord said to them.
7:14And the lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is weighed down to not send out the people.
7:15You proceed to Pharaoh in the morning! Behold, he will go forth upon the water. And you will be able to meet him upon the edge of the river, and the rod, the one turning into a serpent, take in your hand.
7:16And you shall say to him, The lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Send out my people! that they may serve to me in the wilderness. And behold, you hearkened not unto this time.
7:17Thus says the lord, In this you will know that I am the lord. Behold, I strike with the rod in my hand upon the water in the river, and it will turn into blood.
7:18And the fishes in the river shall come to an end. And the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the river.
7:19And the lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and upon their aqueducts, and upon their marshes, and upon all their standing water, and there will be blood in all the land of Egypt, in both the wood vessels and in the stone vessels.
7:20And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the lord gave charge to them. And Aaron lifting his rod struck the water in the river before Pharaoh, and before his attendants. And all the water in the river turned into blood.
7:21And the fishes, the ones in the river came to an end. And the river stunk. And the Egyptians were not able to drink water from out of the river. And the blood was in all the land of Egypt.
7:22And also the enchanters of the Egyptians did likewise in their sorceries. And was hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, just as the lord said.
7:23And Pharaoh turned to enter into his house, and he did not set his mind neither upon this thing.
7:24And all the Egyptians dug round about the river so as to drink water; and they were not able to drink water from the river.
7:25And seven days were fulfilled after the lord struck the river.
