Exodus 7:9-13
9“WhenH3588 PharaohH6547 tells youH1696H413, ‘PerformH5414 a miracleH4159,’ you are to sayH559H413 to AaronH175, ‘TakeH3947 your staffH4294 and throw it downH7993 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547,’ and it will becomeH1961 a serpentH8577.1”
10So MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH935 toH413 PharaohH6547 and didH6213H3651 just asH834 the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680. AaronH175 threwH7993 his staff downH4294 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547H6440 and his officialsH5650, and it becameH1961 a serpentH8577.
11But PharaohH6547 calledH7121 the wise menH2450 and sorcerersH3784 and magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, and theyH1992 alsoH1571 didH6213 the same thingsH3651 by their magic artsH3814. 12EachH376 one threw downH7993 his staffH4294, and it becameH1961 a serpentH8577. But Aaron’sH175 staffH4294 swallowed upH1104 the other staffsH4294.
13Still, Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was hardenedH2388,2 and he would notH3808 listenH8085 to themH413, just asH834 the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
