7:1 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Behold, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy
prophet.
7:2 And thou shalt say to him all things that I charge thee, and Aaron thy
brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he should send forth the children of
Israel out of his land.
7:3 And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and I will multiply my signs and
wonders in the land of Egypt.
7:4 And Pharaoh will not hearken to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt;
and will bring out my people the children of Israel with my power out of the
land of Egypt with great vengeance.
7:5 And all the Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah, stretching out my
hand upon Egypt, and I will bring out the children of Israel out of the
midst of them.
7:6 And Moses and Aaron did as Yehovah commanded them, so did they.
7:7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three
years old, when he spoke to Pharaoh.
7:8 And Yehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
7:9 Now if Pharaoh should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder,
then shalt thou say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod and cast it upon the
ground before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it shall become a
serpent.
7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharaoh, and [before] his servants,
and they did so, as Yehovah commanded them; and Aaron cast down his rod
before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
7:11 But Pharaoh called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers,
and the charmers also of the Egyptians did likewise with their sorceries.
7:12 And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod
of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
7:13 and the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as
Yehovah charged them.
7:14 and Yehovah said to Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is made hard, so that
he should not let the people go.
7:15 Go to Pharaoh early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water;
and thou shalt meet him on the bank of the river, and thou shalt take in
thine hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
7:16 And thou shalt say to him, Yehovah Elohim of the Hebrews has sent me to
thee, saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness,
and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
7:17 These things saith Yehovah: Hereby shalt thou know that I am Yehovah:
behold, I strike with the rod that is in my hand on the water which is in
the river, and it shall change it into blood.
7:18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink
thereupon, and the Egyptians shall not be able to drink water from the
river.
7:19 And Yehovah said to Moses, Say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod in
thy hand, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, and over
their rivers, and over their canals, and over their ponds, and over all
their standing water, and it shall become blood: and there was blood in all
the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.
7:20 and Moses and Aaron did so, as Yehovah commanded them; and [Aaron]
having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, smote the water in the river
before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the
river into blood.
7:21 And the fish in the river died, and the river stank thereupon; and the
Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was in all the
land of Egypt.
7:22 And the charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and
the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, even as
Yehovah said.
7:23 And Pharaoh turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his
attention even on this thing.
7:24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water,
for they could not drink water from the river.
7:25 and seven days were fulfilled after Yehovah has smitten the river. |
7:1 And Yehovah said unto Moses, See, I
have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
7:2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall
speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
7:3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders
in the land of Egypt.
7:4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon
Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel,
out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
7:5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah, when I stretch forth
mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
7:6 And Moses and Aaron did as Yehovah commanded them, so did they.
7:7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years
old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
7:8 And Yehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
7:9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then
thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it
shall become a serpent.
7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as Yehovah
had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his
servants, and it became a serpent.
7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the
magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
7:12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but
Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
7:13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as
Yehovah had said.
7:14 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth
to let the people go.
7:15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water;
and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which
was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
7:16 And thou shalt say unto him, Yehovah Elohim of the Hebrews hath sent me
unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the
wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
7:17 Thus saith Yehovah, In this thou shalt know that I am Yehovah:
behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which
are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
7:18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink;
and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the river.
7:19 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and
stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon
their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that
they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land
of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
7:20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as Yehovah commanded; and he lifted up the
rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh,
and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river
were turned to blood.
7:21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the
Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood
throughout all the land of Egypt.
7:22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as Yehovah
had said.
7:23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his
heart to this also.
7:24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink;
for they could not drink of the water of the river.
7:25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that Yehovah had smitten the
river. |
