Exodus 7:3-12

3And I will render Pharaoh's heartH3820 obdurate, and multiplyH7235 my signsH226 and my wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

4And PharaohH6547 will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my handH3027 upon EgyptH4714, and bringH3318 forthH3318 my hostsH6635, my peopleH5971, the children of IsraelH3478, out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 by greatH1419 judgmentsH8201.

5And the Egyptians shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah, when I stretchH5186 forthH3318 my handH3027 on EgyptH4714, and bringH3318 out the children of IsraelH3478 from among them.

6And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 did as Jehovah had commandedH6680 them: soH3651 did they.

7And MosesH4872 was eightyH8084 yearsH8141 old, and AaronH175 was eighty-threeH8084 yearsH8141 old, when they spokeH1696 to PharaohH6547.

8And Jehovah spoke to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, sayingH559,

9When PharaohH6547 shall speakH1696 to you, sayingH559, Do a miracle for yourselves, — then thou shalt sayH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 thy staffH4294 and castH7993 [it] before PharaohH6547 — it will becomeH1961 a serpentH8577.

10And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH935 in to PharaohH6547, and did soH3651, as Jehovah had commandedH6680; and AaronH175 castH7993 downH7993 his staffH4294 before PharaohH6547, and before his bondmen, and it becameH1961 a serpentH8577.

11And PharaohH6547 alsoH1571 calledH7121 the sages and the sorcerersH3784; and they too, the scribes of EgyptH4714, did soH3651 with their enchantments:

12they castH7993 down every manH376 his staffH4294, and they becameH1961 serpentsH8577; but Aaron's staffH4294 swallowedH1104 up their staves.
