I Will Extend My Hand

Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “See^H7200, I have made^H5414 you as God^H430 to Pharaoh^H6547, and your brother^H251 Aaron^H175 shall be your prophet^H5030.

Exo 7:2

Exo 7:2“As for you, you shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

Exo 7:3

Exo 7:3“But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.

Exo 7:4

Exo 7:4“When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments.

Exo 7:5

Exo 7:5“Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.”

Exo 7:6

Exo 7:6So Moses and Aaron did this; as the LORD commanded them, so they did.

Exo 7:7

Aaron’s Staff Turns into a Serpent

(Exo 4:1–5 )

Exo 7:8

Now the LORD^H3068 spoke^H559 to Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175, saying^H559,

Exo 7:9

Exo 7:9“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘[fn]Work a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, so that it may turn into a serpent.’”

Exo 7:10

Exo 7:10So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and so they did, just as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and [fn]his servants, and it turned into a serpent.

Exo 7:11

Exo 7:11Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they too, the soothsayer priests of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

Exo 7:12

Exo 7:12For each one threw down his staff, and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed their staffs.

Exo 7:13

Exo 7:13Yet Pharaoh’s heart was [fn]hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

Water Turned into Blood

Exo 7:14

Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Pharaoh’s^H6547 heart^H3820 is [fn]stubborn^H3515; he refuses^H3985 to let^H7971 the people^H5971 go^H7971.

Exo 7:15

Exo 7:15“Go to Pharaoh in the morning [fn]just as he is going out to the water, and position yourself to meet him on the bank of the Nile; and you shall take in your hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.

Exo 7:16

Exo 7:16“And you shall say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, so that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened up to now.”

Exo 7:17

Exo 7:17‘This is what the LORD says: “By this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, I am going to strike [fn]the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned into blood.

Exo 7:18

Exo 7:18“Then the fish that are in the Nile will die, the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will [fn]no longer be able to drink water from the Nile.”’”

Exo 7:19

Exo 7:19Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and extend your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their [fn]streams, over their pools, and over all their reservoirs of water, so that they may become blood; and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, both in containers of wood and in containers of stone.’”

Exo 7:20

So Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175 did^H6213 just^H3651^H834 as the LORD^H3068 had commanded^H6680. And he lifted^H7311 up^H7311 [fn]the staff^H4294 and struck^H5221 the water^H4325 that was in the Nile^H2975 in the sight^H5869 of Pharaoh^H6547 and in the sight^H5869 of his servants^H5650; and all^H3605 the water^H4325 that was in the Nile^H2975 was turned^H2015 into blood^H1818.

Exo 7:21

Exo 7:21Then the fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt.

Exo 7:22

Exo 7:22But the soothsayer priests of Egypt did the same with their secret arts; and Pharaoh’s heart was [fn]hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

Exo 7:23

Exo 7:23Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house [fn]with no concern even for this.

Exo 7:24

Exo 7:24So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink from the water of the Nile.

Exo 7:25

Exo 7:25Seven days [fn]passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
