02:007:003 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,
and multiply my signs and
my
wonders in the land of Egypt.
02:007:004 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.
02:007:005 And the Egyptians shall know that I am
the lord, when I
stretch
forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children
of
Israel from among them.
02:007:006 And Moses and Aaron did as the lord
commanded them, so did
they.
02:007:007 And Moses was fourscore years old, and
Aaron fourscore and
three
years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
02:007:008 And the lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
02:007:009 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying,
Shew a miracle for
you:
then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast
it
before
Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
02:007:010 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh,
and they did so as
the
lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his
rod before
Pharaoh,
and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
02:007:011 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and
the sorcerers: now
the
magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with
their
enchantments.
02:007:012 For they cast down every man his rod, and
they became
serpents:
but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
02:007:013 And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart,
that he hearkened not unto
them;
as the lord had said.
02:007:014 And the lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s
heart is hardened, he
refuseth
to let the people go.
02:007:015 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.
02:007:016 And thou shalt say unto him, The lord
God 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.
02:007:017 Thus saith the lord, In this thou
shalt know that I am the
lord:
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.
02:007:018 And the fish that is in the river shall
die, and the river
shall
stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the
water
of the river.
