1
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], See[H7200], I have made[H5414] thee a god[H430] to Pharaoh[H6547]: and Aaron[H175] thy brother[H251] shall be thy prophet[H5030].
2
Thou shalt speak[H1696] all that I command[H6680] thee: and Aaron[H175] thy brother[H251] shall speak[H1696] unto Pharaoh[H6547], that he send[H7971] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] out of his land[H776].
3
And I will harden[H7185] Pharaoh's heart[H3820], and multiply[H7235] my signs[H226] and my wonders[H4159] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
4
But Pharaoh[H6547] shall not hearken[H8085] unto you, that I may lay[H5414] my hand[H3027] upon Egypt[H4714], and bring forth[H3318] mine armies[H6635], and my people[H5971] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] by great[H1419]judgments[H8201].
5
And the Egyptians[H4714] shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068], when I stretch forth[H5186] mine hand[H3027] upon Egypt[H4714], and bring out[H3318] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] from among[H8432] them.
6
And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175]did[H6213] as the LORD[H3068]commanded[H6680] them, so did[H6213] they.
7
And Moses[H4872] was fourscore[H8084]years[H8141]old[H1121], and Aaron[H175]fourscore[H8084] and three[H7969]years[H8141]old[H1121], when they spake[H1696] unto Pharaoh[H6547].
8
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872] and unto Aaron[H175], saying[H559],
9
When Pharaoh[H6547] shall speak[H1696] unto you, saying[H559], Shew[H5414] a miracle[H4159] for you: then thou shalt say[H559] unto Aaron[H175], Take[H3947] thy rod[H4294], and cast[H7993] it before[H6440]Pharaoh[H6547], and it shall become a serpent[H8577].
10
And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] went in[H935] unto Pharaoh[H6547], and they did[H6213] so as the LORD[H3068] had commanded[H6680]: and Aaron[H175] cast down[H7993] his rod[H4294]before[H6440]Pharaoh[H6547], and before[H6440] his servants[H5650], and it became a serpent[H8577].
11
Then Pharaoh[H6547] also called[H7121] the wise men[H2450] and the sorcerers[H3784]: now the magicians[H2748] of Egypt[H4714], they also did[H6213] in like manner[H3651] with their enchantments[H3858].
12
For they cast down[H7993] every man[H376] his rod[H4294], and they became serpents[H8577]: but Aaron's rod[H4294] swallowed up[H1104] their rods[H4294].
13
And he hardened[H2388] Pharaoh's heart[H3820], that he hearkened[H8085] not unto them; as the LORD[H3068] had said[H1696].
14
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Pharaoh's heart[H3820] is hardened[H3515], he refuseth[H3985] to let the people[H5971]go[H7971].
15Get[H3212] thee unto Pharaoh[H6547] in the morning[H1242]; lo, he goeth out[H3318] unto the water[H4325]; and thou shalt stand[H5324] by the river's brink[H8193] against he come[H7125]; and the rod[H4294] which was turned[H2015] to a serpent[H5175] shalt thou take[H3947] in thine hand[H3027].
16
And thou shalt say[H559] unto him, The LORD[H3068]God[H430] of the Hebrews[H5680] hath sent[H7971] me unto thee, saying[H559], Let my people[H5971]go[H7971], that they may serve[H5647] me in the wilderness[H4057]: and, behold, hitherto[H3541] thou wouldest not hear[H8085].
17
Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068], In this thou shalt know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068]: behold, I will smite[H5221] with the rod[H4294] that is in mine hand[H3027] upon the waters[H4325] which are in the river[H2975], and they shall be turned[H2015] to blood[H1818].
18
And the fish[H1710] that is in the river[H2975] shall die[H4191], and the river[H2975] shall stink[H887]; and the Egyptians[H4714] shall lothe[H3811] to drink[H8354] of the water[H4325] of the river[H2975].
19
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Say[H559] unto Aaron[H175], Take[H3947] thy rod[H4294], and stretch out[H5186] thine hand[H3027] upon the waters[H4325] of Egypt[H4714], upon their streams[H5104], upon their rivers[H2975], and upon their ponds[H98], and upon all their pools[H4723] of water[H4325], that they may become blood[H1818]; and that there may be blood[H1818] throughout all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], both in vessels of wood[H6086], and in vessels of stone[H68].
20
And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175]did[H6213] so, as the LORD[H3068]commanded[H6680]; and he lifted up[H7311] the rod[H4294], and smote[H5221] the waters[H4325] that were in the river[H2975], in the sight[H5869] of Pharaoh[H6547], and in the sight[H5869] of his servants[H5650]; and all the waters[H4325] that were in the river[H2975] were turned[H2015] to blood[H1818].
21
And the fish[H1710] that was in the river[H2975]died[H4191]; and the river[H2975]stank[H887], and the Egyptians[H4714]could[H3201] not drink[H8354] of the water[H4325] of the river[H2975]; and there was blood[H1818] throughout all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
22
And the magicians[H2748] of Egypt[H4714]did[H6213] so with their enchantments[H3909]: and Pharaoh's heart[H3820] was hardened[H2388], neither did[H6213] he hearken[H8085] unto them; as the LORD[H3068] had said[H1696].
23
And Pharaoh[H6547]turned[H6437] and went[H935] into his house[H1004], neither did he set[H7896] his heart[H3820] to this[H2063] also.
24
And all the Egyptians[H4714]digged[H2658] round about[H5439] the river[H2975] for water[H4325] to drink[H8354]; for they could[H3201] not drink[H8354] of the water[H4325] of the river[H2975].
25
And seven[H7651]days[H3117] were fulfilled[H4390], after[H310] that the LORD[H3068] had smitten[H5221] the river[H2975].
