Exodus 7:1-13

1Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “1SeeH7200, I makeH5414 you as GodH430 to PharaohH6547, and your brotherH251 AaronH175 shall be your prophetH5030. 2You shall speakH1696 allH3605 that I commandH6680 you, and your brotherH251 2AaronH175 shall speakH1696 to PharaohH6547 that he letH7971 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971 out of his landH776. 3But 3I will hardenH7185 Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 that I may 4multiplyH7235 My signsH226 and My wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 4When 5PharaohH6547 does not listenH8085 to you, then I will layH5414 My handH3027 on EgyptH4714 and 6bringH3318 out My hostsH6635, My peopleH5971 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 by 7greatH1419 judgmentsH8201. 58The EgyptiansH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I 9stretchH5186 out My handH3027 on EgyptH4714 and bringH3318 out the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from their midstH8432.” 6So MosesH4872 and AaronH175 didH6213 it; 10as the LordH3068 commandedH6680 them, thusH3651 they didH6213. 7MosesH4872 was 11eightyH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and AaronH175 12eighty-threeH8084, when they spokeH1696 to PharaohH6547.

8Now the LordH3068 spokeH559 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175, sayingH559, 9“WhenH3588 PharaohH6547 speaksH1696 to you, sayingH559, ‘1314WorkH5414 a miracleH4159,’ then you shall sayH559 to AaronH175, ‘15TakeH3947 your staffH4294 and throwH7993 it downH7993 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, that it may becomeH1961 a serpentH8577.’” 10So MosesH4872 and AaronH175 cameH935 to PharaohH6547, and thusH3651 they didH6213 justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680; and AaronH175 threwH7993 his staffH4294 downH7993 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547 and 16his servantsH5650, and it 17becameH1961 a serpentH8577. 11Then PharaohH6547 alsoH1571 18calledH7121 for the wiseH2450 menH2450 and the sorcerersH3784, and they alsoH1571, the 1920magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, didH6213 21the sameH3651 with 22their secretH3909 artsH3909. 12For eachH376 oneH376 threwH7993 downH7993 his staffH4294 and they turnedH1961 into serpentsH8577. But Aaron’sH175 staffH4294 swallowedH1104 up their staffsH4294. 13Yet 23Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was 24hardenedH2388, and he did not listenH8085 to them, as the LordH3068 had saidH1696.
