 <div class="label">7</div><div class="p"> 1Then the Lord said to Moses, &#8220;See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. 2You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. 3But I will harden Pharaoh&#8217;s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in Egypt, 4he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites. 5And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 6Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them. 7Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.</div><div class="s1">Aaron&#8217;s Staff Becomes a Snake</div><div class="p"> 8The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 9&#8220;When Pharaoh says to you, &#8216;Perform a miracle,&#8217; then say to Aaron, &#8216;Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,&#8217; and it will become a snake.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 10So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. 11Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: 12Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron&#8217;s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13Yet Pharaoh&#8217;s heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.</div><div class="s1">The Plague of Blood</div><div class="p"> 14Then the Lord said to Moses, &#8220;Pharaoh&#8217;s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go. 15Go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes out to the river. Confront him on the bank of the Nile, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake. 16Then say to him, &#8216;The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you: Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness. But until now you have not listened. 17This is what the Lord says: By this you will know that I am the Lord: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. 18The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink; the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water.&#8217;&#8198;&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 19The Lord said to Moses, &#8220;Tell Aaron, &#8216;Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt&#8212;over the streams and canals, over the ponds and all the reservoirs&#8212;and they will turn to blood.&#8217; Blood will be everywhere in Egypt, even in vessels#7:19 Or even on their idols of wood and stone.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 20Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded. He raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was changed into blood. 21The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. Blood was everywhere in Egypt.</div><div class="p"> 22But the Egyptian magicians did the same things by their secret arts, and Pharaoh&#8217;s heart became hard; he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said. 23Instead, he turned and went into his palace, and did not take even this to heart. 24And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile to get drinking water, because they could not drink the water of the river.</div><div class="s1">The Plague of Frogs</div><div class="p"> 25Seven days passed after the Lord struck the Nile.</div>
