9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘b Lit Show a wonder for yourselvesWork a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” 10 So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh andc Lit before hishis servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, thed Or soothsayer priestsmagicians of Egypt, dide Lit thusthe same with their secret arts. 12 For each one threw down his staff and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart wasf Lit stronghardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart isg Or hard; lit heavystubborn; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morningh Lit beholdas he is going out to the water, and station 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. 16 You shall say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened until now.” 17 Thus says the LORD, “By this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, I will strikei Lit upon the watersthe water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned to blood. 18 The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile willj I.e. have a bad smellbecome foul, and the Egyptians willk Or be weary offind difficulty in drinking water from the Nile.”’” 19 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over theirl Or canalsstreams, and over their pools, and over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
20 So Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD had commanded. And he lifted upm Lit with the staffthe staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.
