07:001

And HaShem said unto Moses: 'See, I have set thee in G-d's stead to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet

07:002

Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land

07:003

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt

07:004

But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay My hand upon Egypt, and bring forth My hosts, My people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by great judgments

07:005

And the Egyptians shall know that I am HaShem, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

07:006

And Moses and Aaron did so; as HaShem commanded them, so did they

07:007

And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh. spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying

07:009

'When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying: Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.

07:010

And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as HaShem had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent

07:011

Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts

07:012

For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents; but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods

07:013

And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as HaShem had spoken. 'Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go

07:015

Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand

07:016

And thou shalt say unto him: HaShem, the G-d 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 hast not hearkened

07:017

thus saith HaShem: In this thou shalt know that I am HaShem--behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood

07:018

And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.

07:019

And HaShem said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

07:020

And Moses and Aaron did so, as HaShem 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

07:021

And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt

07:022

And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as HaShem had spoken

07:023

And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart

07:024

And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river

07:025

And seven days were fulfilled, after that HaShem had smitten the river

07:026

And HaShem spoke unto Moses: 'Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him: Thus saith HaShem: Let My people go, that they may serve Me

07:027

And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs

07:028

And the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bed-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs

07:029

And the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
