Exodus 7:17-20

17This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: By thisH2063 you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068. BeholdH2009, with the staffH4294 in my handH3027 IH595 will strikeH5221 the waterH4325 of the NileH2975H5921, and it will turnH2015 to bloodH1818. 18The fishH1710 in the NileH2975 will dieH4191, the riverH2975 will stinkH887, and the EgyptiansH4713 will be unableH3811 to drinkH8354 itsH4480H2975 waterH4325.’”

19And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “TellH559H413 AaronH175, ‘TakeH3947 your staffH4294 and stretch outH5186 your handH3027 overH5921 the watersH4325 of EgyptH4714—overH5921 their riversH5104H5921 and canalsH2975H5921 and pondsH98 andH5921 allH3605 the reservoirsH4325H4723—that they may becomeH1961 bloodH1818.’ There will beH1961 bloodH1818 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even in the vessels of woodH6086 and stoneH68.”

20MosesH4872 and AaronH175 didH6213H3651 just asH834 the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680; in the presenceH5869 of PharaohH6547H5869 and his officialsH5650, Aaron raisedH7311 the staffH42941 and struckH5221 the waterH4325 of the NileH2975, and allH3605 the waterH4325 was turnedH2015 to bloodH1818.
