1 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, See * h7200 h8798, I have made * h5414 h8804 thee a god * h430 to Pharaoh * h6547: and Aaron * h175 thy brother * h251 shall be thy prophet * h5030.
2 Thou shalt speak * h1696 h8762 all that I command * h6680 h8762 thee: and Aaron * h175 thy brother * h251 shall speak * h1696 h8762 unto Pharaoh * h6547, that he send * h7971 h8765 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 out of his land * h776.
3 And I will harden * h7185 h8686 Pharaoh's * h6547 heart * h3820, and multiply * h7235 h8689 my signs * h226 and my wonders * h4159 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714.
4 But Pharaoh * h6547 shall not hearken * h8085 h8799 unto you, that I may lay * h5414 h8804 my hand * h3027 upon Egypt * h4714, and bring forth * h3318 h8689 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 h8804 that I am the LORD * h3068, when I stretch forth * h5186 h8800 mine hand * h3027 upon Egypt * h4714, and bring out * h3318 h8689 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 from among * h8432 them.
6 And Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 did * h6213 h8799 as the LORD * h3068 commanded * h6680 h8765 them, so did * h6213 h8804 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 h8763 unto Pharaoh * h6547.
8 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872 and unto Aaron * h175, saying * h559 h8800,
9 When Pharaoh * h6547 shall speak * h1696 h8762 unto you, saying * h559 h8800, Shew * h5414 h8798 a miracle * h4159 for you: then thou shalt say * h559 h8804 unto Aaron * h175, Take * h3947 h8798 thy rod * h4294, and cast * h7993 h8685 it before * h6440 Pharaoh * h6547, and it shall become a serpent * h8577.
10 And Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 went in * h935 h8799 unto Pharaoh * h6547, and they did * h6213 h8799 so as the LORD * h3068 had commanded * h6680 h8765: and Aaron * h175 cast down * h7993 h8686 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 h8799 the wise men * h2450 and the sorcerers * h3784 h8764: now the magicians * h2748 of Egypt * h4714, they also did * h6213 h8799 in like manner * h3651 with their enchantments * h3858.
12 For they cast down * h7993 h8686 every man * h376 his rod * h4294, and they became serpents * h8577: but Aaron's * h175 rod * h4294 swallowed up * h1104 h8799 their rods * h4294.
13 And he hardened * h2388 h8799 Pharaoh's * h6547 heart * h3820, that he hearkened * h8085 h8804 not unto them; as the LORD * h3068 had said * h1696 h8765.
14 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Pharaoh's * h6547 heart * h3820 is hardened * h3515, he refuseth * h3985 h8765 to let the people * h5971 go * h7971 h8763.
15 Get * h3212 h8798 thee unto Pharaoh * h6547 in the morning * h1242; lo, he goeth out * h3318 h8802 unto the water * h4325; and thou shalt stand * h5324 h8738 by the river's * h2975 brink * h8193 against he come * h7125 h8800; and the rod * h4294 which was turned * h2015 h8738 to a serpent * h5175 shalt thou take * h3947 h8799 in thine hand * h3027.
16 And thou shalt say * h559 h8804 unto him, The LORD * h3068 God * h430 of the Hebrews * h5680 hath sent * h7971 h8804 me unto thee, saying * h559 h8800, Let my people * h5971 go * h7971 h8761, that they may serve * h5647 h8799 me in the wilderness * h4057: and, behold, hitherto * h3541 thou wouldest not hear * h8085 h8804.
17 Thus saith * h559 h8804 the LORD * h3068, In this thou shalt know * h3045 h8799 that I am the LORD * h3068: behold, I will smite * h5221 h8688 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 h8738 to blood * h1818.
18 And the fish * h1710 that is in the river * h2975 shall die * h4191 h8799, and the river * h2975 shall stink * h887 h8804; and the Egyptians * h4714 shall lothe * h3811 h8738 to drink * h8354 h8800 of the water * h4325 of the river * h2975.
19 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Say * h559 h8798 unto Aaron * h175, Take * h3947 h8798 thy rod * h4294, and stretch out * h5186 h8798 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. pools...: Heb. gathering of their waters
20 And Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 did * h6213 h8799 so, as the LORD * h3068 commanded * h6680 h8765; and he lifted up * h7311 h8686 the rod * h4294, and smote * h5221 h8686 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 h8735 to blood * h1818.
21 And the fish * h1710 that was in the river * h2975 died * h4191 h8804; and the river * h2975 stank * h887 h8799, and the Egyptians * h4714 could * h3201 h8804 not drink * h8354 h8800 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 h8799 so with their enchantments * h3909: and Pharaoh's * h6547 heart * h3820 was hardened * h2388 h8799, neither did he hearken * h8085 h8804 unto them; as the LORD * h3068 had said * h1696 h8765.
23 And Pharaoh * h6547 turned * h6437 h8799 and went * h935 h8799 into his house * h1004, neither did he set * h7896 h8804 his heart * h3820 to this * h2063 also.
24 And all the Egyptians * h4714 digged * h2658 h8799 round about * h5439 the river * h2975 for water * h4325 to drink * h8354 h8800; for they could * h3201 h8804 not drink * h8354 h8800 of the water * h4325 of the river * h2975.
25 And seven * h7651 days * h3117 were fulfilled * h4390 h8735, after * h310 that the LORD * h3068 had smitten * h5221 h8687 the river * h2975.
