* And the LORD said unto Moses , See , I have made thee a god to Pharaoh Par #oh #: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet . * Thou shalt speak all that I command thee : and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, that he send the children of Israel out of his land . * And I will harden Pharaohs heart , and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt . * 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 Yisra #el #, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments . * 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 . * And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them , so did they . * And Moses was fourscore years old , and Aaron fourscore and three years old , when they spake unto Pharaoh Par #oh #. * And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron , saying , * 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 Par #oh #, and it shall become a serpent . * And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, and they did so as the LORD had commanded : and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh Par #oh #, and before his servants , and it became a serpent . * Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers : now the magicians of Egypt , they also did in like manner with their enchantments . * For they cast down every man his rod , and they became serpents : but Aarons rod swallowed up their rods . * And he hardened Pharaohs heart , that he hearkened not unto them ; as the LORD had said . * And the LORD said unto Moses , Pharaohs heart is hardened , he refuseth to let the people go . * Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning ; lo , he goeth out unto the water ; and thou shalt stand by the rivers brink against he come ; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand . * 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 . * 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 y @#or #, and they shall be turned to blood . * 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 y @#or #. * 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 y @#or #, 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 . * 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 y @#or #, in the sight of Pharaoh Par #oh #, and in the sight of his servants ; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood . * 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 y @#or #; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt . * And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments : and Pharaohs heart was hardened , neither did he hearken unto them ; as the LORD had said . * And Pharaoh turned and went into his house , neither did he set his heart to this also . * And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink ; for they could not drink of the water of the river y @#or #. * And seven days were fulfilled , after that the LORD had smitten the river y @#or #.
