< 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 Yhwh said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: 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.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send 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 Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my 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.
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, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
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 the Egyptians shall know that I am Yhwh, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 And he did Moses and Aaron just as he commanded Yahweh them so they did.
And Moses and Aaron did as Yhwh 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 fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 And he said Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron saying.
And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto 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.
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, 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 unto Pharaoh, and they did so as Yhwh had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, 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.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 And they threw down each one staff his and they became serpents and it swallowed up [the] staff of Aaron staffs their.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod 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 he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as Yhwh had said.
14 And he said Yahweh to Moses [is] heavy [the] heart of Pharaoh he has refused to let go the people.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to 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.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
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 unto him, Yhwh 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.
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.
Thus saith Yhwh, In this thou shalt know that I am Yhwh: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to 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 is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of 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 Yhwh 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, 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.
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 Yhwh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to 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 that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout 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 magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as Yhwh had said.
23 And he turned Pharaoh and he went into house his and not he set heart his also to this.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
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 digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And it was completed seven days after struck Yahweh the River.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that Yhwh had smitten the river.
