6 (28) And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spoke to Moshe in the land of Miżrayim,

(29) that the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Par῾o king of Miżrayim all that I say to thee.

(30) And Moshe said before the Lord, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Par῾o hearken to me?

7 (1) And the Lord said to Moshe, See, I have made thee a god to Par῾o: and Aharon thy brother shall be thy prophet.

(2) Thou shall speak all that I command thee: and Aharon thy brother shall speak to Par῾o, that he send the children of Yisra᾽el out of his land.

(3) And I will harden Par῾o’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Miżrayim.

(4) But Par῾o shall not hearken to you, that I may lay my hand upon Miżrayim, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Yisra᾽el, out of the land of Miżrayim by great judgments.

(5) And Miżrayim shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand upon Miżrayim, and bring out the children of Yisra᾽el from among them.

(6) And Moshe and Aharon did as the Lord commanded them, so they did.

(7) And Moshe was eighty years old, and Aharon, eighty three years old, when they spoke to Par῾o.

(8) And the Lord spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,

(9) When Par῾o shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for yourselves: then thou shalt say to Aharon, Take thy rod, and cast it before Par῾o, and it shall turn into a snake.

(10) And Moshe and Aharon went in to Par῾o, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aharon threw down his rod before Par῾o, and before his servants, and it turned into a snake.

(11) Then Par῾o also called the wise men and the sorcerers: and the magicians of Miżrayim, they also did in like manner with their secret arts.

(12) For they cast down every man his rod, and they turned to snakes: but Aharon’s rod swallowed up their rods.

(13) And the heart of Par῾o was hardened, that he did not hearken to them; as the Lord had said.

(14) And the Lord said to Moshe, Par῾o’s heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.

(15) Get thee to Par῾o in the morning; lo, he goes out to the water; and thou shalt stand by the River’s brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a snake shalt thou take in thy hand.

(16) And thou shalt say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, till now thou wouldst not hear.

(17) Thus says the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the water in the River, and it shall be turned to blood.

(18) And the fish that is in the River shall die, and the river shall stink; and Miżrayim shall no longer be able to drink the water of the River.

(19) And the Lord spoke to Moshe, Say to Aharon, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of Miżrayim, upon their streams, upon their canals, 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 Miżrayim, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.

(20) And Moshe and Aharon 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 Par῾o, and in the sight of his servants; and all the water that was in the River was turned to blood.

(21) And the fish that was in the River died; and the River stank, and Miżrayim could not drink of the water of the River; and there was blood throughout all the land of Miżrayim.

(22) And the magicians of Par῾o did so with their secret arts: and Par῾o’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken to them; as the Lord had said.

(23) And Par῾o turned and went to his house, neither did he set his heart even to this.
