7:1 And
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"See,
I
have
made
you
like
God
to
Pharaoh,
and
your
brother
Aaron
shall
be
your
prophet.
7:2 You
shall
speak
all
that
I
command
you,
and
your
brother
Aaron
shall
tell
Pharaoh
to
let
the
people
of
Israel
go
out
of
his
land.
7:3 But
I
will
harden
Pharaoh's
heart,
and
though
I
multiply
my
signs
and
wonders
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
7:4 Pharaoh
will
not
listen
to
you.
Then
I
will
lay
my
hand
on
Egypt
and
bring
my
hosts,
my
people
the
children
of
Israel,
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
by
great
acts
of
judgment.
7:5 The
Egyptians
shall
know
that
I
am
the
LORD,
when
I
stretch
out
my
hand
against
Egypt
and
bring
out
the
people
of
Israel
from
among
them."
7:6 Moses
and
Aaron
did
so;
they
did
just
as
the
LORD
commanded
them.
7:7 Now
Moses
was
eighty
years
old,
and
Aaron
eighty-three
years
old,
when
they
spoke
to
Pharaoh.
7:8 Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses
and
Aaron,
7:9 "When
Pharaoh
says
to
you,
'Prove
yourselves
by
working
a
miracle,'
then
you
shall
say
to
Aaron,
'Take
your
staff
and
cast
it
down
before
Pharaoh,
that
it
may
become
a
serpent.'"
7:10 So
Moses
and
Aaron
went
to
Pharaoh
and
did
just
as
the
LORD
commanded.
Aaron
cast
down
his
staff
before
Pharaoh
and
his
servants,
and
it
became
a
serpent.
7:11 Then
Pharaoh
summoned
the
wise
men
and
the
sorcerers,
and
they,
the
magicians
of
Egypt,
also
did
the
same
by
their
secret
arts.
7:12 For
each
man
cast
down
his
staff,
and
they
became
serpents.
But
Aaron's
staff
swallowed
up
their
staffs.
7:13 Still
Pharaoh's
heart
was
hardened,
and
he
would
not
listen
to
them,
as
the
LORD
had
said.
7:14 Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"Pharaoh's
heart
is
hardened;
he
refuses
to
let
the
people
go.
7:15 Go
to
Pharaoh
in
the
morning,
as
he
is
going
out
to
the
water.
Stand
on
the
bank
of
the
Nile
to
meet
him,
and
take
in
your
hand
the
staff
that
turned
into
a
serpent.
7:16 And
you
shall
say
to
him,
'The
LORD,
the
God
of
the
Hebrews,
sent
me
to
you,
saying,
"Let
my
people
go,
that
they
may
serve
me
in
the
wilderness.
But
so
far,
you
have
not
obeyed."
7:17 Thus
says
the
LORD,
"By
this
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
LORD:
behold,
with
the
staff
that
is
in
my
hand
I
will
strike
the
water
that
is
in
the
Nile,
and
it
shall
turn
into
blood.
7:18 The
fish
in
the
Nile
shall
die,
and
the
Nile
will
stink,
and
the
Egyptians
will
grow
weary
of
drinking
water
from
the
Nile."'"
7:19 And
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"Say
to
Aaron,
'Take
your
staff
and
stretch
out
your
hand
over
the
waters
of
Egypt,
over
their
rivers,
their
canals,
and
their
ponds,
and
all
their
pools
of
water,
so
that
they
may
become
blood,
and
there
shall
be
blood
throughout
all
the
land
of
Egypt,
even
in
vessels
of
wood
and
in
vessels
of
stone.'"
7:20 Moses
and
Aaron
did
as
the
LORD
commanded.
In
the
sight
of
Pharaoh
and
in
the
sight
of
his
servants
he
lifted
up
the
staff
and
struck
the
water
in
the
Nile,
and
all
the
water
in
the
Nile
turned
into
blood.
7:21 And
the
fish
in
the
Nile
died,
and
the
Nile
stank,
so
that
the
Egyptians
could
not
drink
water
from
the
Nile.
There
was
blood
throughout
all
the
land
of
Egypt.
7:22 But
the
magicians
of
Egypt
did
the
same
by
their
secret
arts.
So
Pharaoh's
heart
remained
hardened,
and
he
would
not
listen
to
them,
as
the
LORD
had
said.
7:23 Pharaoh
turned
and
went
into
his
house,
and
he
did
not
take
even
this
to
heart.
7:24 And
all
the
Egyptians
dug
along
the
Nile
for
water
to
drink,
for
they
could
not
drink
the
water
of
the
Nile.
7:25 Seven
full
days
passed
after
the
LORD
had
struck
the
Nile.
