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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6 And he did Moses and Aaron just as he commanded Yahweh them so they did.
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.
8 And he said Yahweh to Moses and to 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.
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.
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.
12 And they threw down each one staff his and they became serpents and it swallowed up [the] staff of Aaron staffs their.
13 And it was strong [the] heart of Pharaoh and not he listened to them just as he had said Yahweh.
14 And he said Yahweh to Moses [is] heavy [the] heart of Pharaoh he has refused to let go the people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
