1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have
made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy
prophet. 2 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. 3
And I will harden
Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the
land of Egypt. 4 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. 5 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. 6
And Moses and
Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. 7And
Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and
three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 9 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. 10
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. 11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise
men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did
in like manner with their enchantments. 12
For they cast
down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s
rod swallowed up their rods. 13
And he hardened Pharaoh’s
heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is
hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. 15
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. 16
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. 17
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. 18 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. 19
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. 20
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. 21
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. 22
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. 23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house,
neither did he set his heart to this also. 24
And all
the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for
they could not drink of the water of the river. 25
And
seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the
river.
