Popular Bible Verses from Sh'mot (Exo) 7

But ADONAI said to Moshe, “I have put you in the place of God to Pharaoh, and Aharon your brother will be your prophet.

But I will make him hardhearted. Even though I will increase my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my armies, my people the sons of Isra’el, out of the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.

Then, when I stretch out my hand over Egypt and bring the people of Isra’el out from among them, the Egyptians will know that I am ADONAI.”

But Pharaoh in turn called for the sages and sorcerers; and they too, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing, making use of their secret arts. Each one threw his staff down, and they turned into snakes. But Aharon’s staff swallowed up theirs.

so ADONAI says, “This will let you know that I am ADONAI”: I will take the staff in my hand and strike the water in the river, and it will be turned into blood.

“When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ tell Aharon to take his staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, so that it can become a snake.” Moshe and Aharon went in to Pharaoh and did this, as ADONAI had ordered — Aharon threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his servants, and it turned into a snake.
