< Exodus 7 >
1 And he said Yahweh to Moses consider I have appointed you a god to Pharaoh and Aaron brother your he will be prophet your.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made thee a god to Pharao, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 You you will speak all that I will command you and Aaron brother your he will speak to Pharaoh and he will let go [the] people of Israel from land his.
And thou shalt say to him all things that I charge thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharao, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of his land.
3 And I I will make stubborn [the] heart of Pharaoh and I will multiply signs my and wonders my in [the] land of Egypt.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 And not he will listen to you Pharaoh and I will put hand my on Egypt and I will bring out hosts my people my [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt with acts of judgment great.
And Pharao will not hearken to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt; and will bring out my people the children of Israel with my power out of the land of Egypt with great vengeance.
5 And they will know Egypt that I [am] Yahweh when stretch out I hand my on Egypt and I will bring out [the] people of Israel from among them.
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, stretching out my hand upon Egypt, and I will bring out the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
6 And he did Moses and Aaron just as he commanded Yahweh them so they did.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 And Moses [was] a son of eighty year[s] and Aaron [was] a son of three and eighty year[s] when spoke they to Pharaoh.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
8 And he said Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron saying.
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 That he will say to you Pharaoh saying give for yourselves a wonder and you will say to Aaron take staff your and throw [it] before Pharaoh it may become a serpent.
Now if Pharao should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder, then shalt thou say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod and cast it upon the ground before Pharao, and before his servants, and it shall become a serpent.
10 And he went Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and they did so just as he had commanded Yahweh and he threw down Aaron staff his before Pharaoh and before servants his and it became a serpent.
And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and [before] his servants, and they did so, as the Lord commanded them; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharao, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 And he summoned also Pharaoh the wise men and the sorcerers and they did also they [the] magicians of Egypt by enchantments their thus.
But Pharao called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers, and the charmers also of the Egyptians did likewise with their sorceries.
12 And they threw down each one staff his and they became serpents and it swallowed up [the] staff of Aaron staffs their.
And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
13 And it was strong [the] heart of Pharaoh and not he listened to them just as he had said Yahweh.
and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord charged them.
14 And he said Yahweh to Moses [is] heavy [the] heart of Pharaoh he has refused to let go the people.
and the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he should not let the people go.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning there! [he is] going out the water towards and you will stand to meet him on [the] bank of the River and the staff which it was changed into a snake you will take in hand your.
Go to Pharao early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water; and thou shalt meet him on the bank of the river, and thou shalt take in thine hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
16 And you will say to him Yahweh [the] God of the Hebrews he has sent me to you to say let go people my so they may serve me in the wilderness and here! not you have listened until thus.
And thou shalt say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness, and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
17 Thus he says Yahweh by this you will know that I [am] Yahweh here! I [am] about to strike - with the staff which [is] in hand my the water which [is] in the River and they will be changed into blood.
These things saith the Lord: Hereby shalt thou know that I am the Lord: behold, I strike with the rod that is in my hand on the water which is in the river, and it shall change it into blood.
18 And the fish which [is] in the River it will die and it will stink the River and they will be weary Egypt to drink water from the River.
And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink thereupon, and the Egyptians shall not be able to drink water from the river.
19 And he said Yahweh to Moses say to Aaron take staff your and stretch out hand your over [the] waters of Egypt over rivers their - over canals their and over ponds their and over every reservoir of water their so they may become blood and it will be blood in all [the] land of Egypt and in the wood and in the stone.
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod in thy hand, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers, and over their canals, and over their ponds, and over all their standing water, and it shall become blood: and there was blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.
20 And they did so Moses and Aaron just as - he had commanded Yahweh and he raised the staff and he struck the water which [was] in the River to [the] eyes of Pharaoh and to [the] eyes of servants his and they were changed all the water which [was] in the River into blood.
and Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, smote the water in the river before Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river into blood.
21 And the fish which [was] in the River it died and it stank the River and not they were able Egypt to drink water from the River and it was the blood in all [the] land of Egypt.
And the fish in the river died, and the river stank thereupon; and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was in all the land of Egypt.
22 And they did thus [the] magicians of Egypt by enchantments their and it was strong [the] heart of Pharaoh and not he listened to them just as he had said Yahweh.
And the charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, even as the Lord said.
23 And he turned Pharaoh and he went into house his and not he set heart his also to this.
And Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention even on this thing.
24 And they dug all Egypt around the River water to drink for not they were able to drink any of [the] water of the River.
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for they could not drink water from the river.
25 And it was completed seven days after struck Yahweh the River.
and seven days were fulfilled after the Lord has smitten the river.
