Chapter 7

1

AND Yahuah said unto Mosheh, See, I have made you an elohiym to Phar'oh: and Aharon your brother shall be your prophet.

2

You shall speak את all that I command you: and Aharon your brother shall speak unto Phar'oh, that he send the children of Yashar'el out of his land.

3

And I will harden Phar'oh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.

4

But Phar'oh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Mitsrayim, and bring forth my armies, and my people the children of Yashar'el, out of the land of Mitsrayim by great judgments.

5

And the Mitsriym shall know that I am Yahuah, when I stretch forth my hand upon Mitsrayim, and bring out the children of Yashar'el from among them.

6

And Mosheh and Aharon did as Yahuah commanded them, so did they.

7

And Mosheh was fourscore years old, and Aharon fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Phar'oh.

8

And Yahuah spoke unto El-Mosheh and unto El-Aharon, saying,

9

When Phar'oh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then you shall say unto El-Aharon, Take your rod, and cast it before Phar'oh, and it shall become a dragon.

10

And Mosheh and Aharon went in unto Phar'oh, and they did so as Yahuah had commanded: and Aharon cast down his rod before Phar'oh, and before his servants, and it became a dragon.

11

Then Phar'oh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Mitsrayim, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12

For they cast down every man his rod, and they became dragons: but Aharon's rod swallowed up their rods.

13

And he hardened Phar'oh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as Yahuah had said.

14

And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Phar'oh's heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.

15

Get you unto Phar'oh in the morning; lo, he goes out unto the water; and you shall stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shall you take in your hand.

16

And you shall say unto him, Yahuah Elohai of the Ivriym has sent me unto you, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto you would not hear.

17

Thus says Yahuah, In this you shall know that I am Yahuah: 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.

18

And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Mitsriym shall loathe to drink of the water of the river.

19

And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, Say unto Aharon, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the waters of Mitsrayim, 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 Mitsrayim, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.

20

And Mosheh and Aharon did so, as Yahuah commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Phar'oh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

21

And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Mitsriym could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.

22

And the magicians of Mitsrayim did so with their enchantments: and Phar'oh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as Yahuah had said.

23

And Phar'oh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.

24

And all the Mitsriym dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.

25

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