Exodus 7:17-25
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. 21The fishH1710 in the NileH2975 diedH4191, and the riverH2975 smelled so badH887 that the EgyptiansH4713 couldH3201 notH3808 drinkH8354 itsH4480H2975 waterH4325. And there wasH1961 bloodH1818 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
22But the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714 didH6213 the same thingsH3651 by their magic artsH3909. So Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was hardenedH2388, and he would notH3808 listenH8085 toH413 Moses and Aaron, just asH834 the LORDH3068 had saidH1696. 23Instead, PharaohH6547 turned aroundH6437, wentH935 intoH413 his palaceH1004, and did notH3808 takeH7896 anyH1571 of thisH2063 to heartH3820. 24So allH3605 the EgyptiansH4713 dugH2658 aroundH5439 the NileH2975 for waterH4325 to drinkH8354, becauseH3588 they couldH3201 notH3808 drinkH8354 the waterH4325 from the riverH2975.
25And sevenH7651 full daysH3117 passedH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068 had struckH5221 the NileH2975.
