Chapter 7

1


 

  And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee 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 let the children of Israel go out of his land.  

 

 

-

3


 

  And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.  

 

 

-

4


 

  And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.  

 

 

-

5


 

  And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.  

 

 

-

6


 

  And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.  

 

 

-

7


 

  And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.  

 

 

-

8


 

  And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,  

 

 

-

9


 

  When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, -- then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh -- it will become a serpent.  

 

 

-

10


 

  And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.  

 

 

-

11


 

  And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:  

 

 

-

12


 

  they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.  

 

 

-

13


 

  And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.  

 

 

-

14


 

  And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth to let the people go.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Go unto Pharaoh in the morning -- behold, he will go out unto the water -- and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.  

 

 

-

16


 

  And say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.  

 

 

-

17


 

  Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah -- behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood.  

 

 

-

18


 

  And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.  

 

 

-

19


 

  And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians -- upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] stone.  

 

 

-

20


 

  And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood.  

 

 

-

21


 

  And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was throughout the land of Egypt.  

 

 

-

22


 

  And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said.  

 

 

-

23


 

  And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.  

 

 

-

24


 

  And all the Egyptians dug 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 Jehovah had smitten the river.
