by the chaciyd with some Hebrew pronunciation
1 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and
Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak
unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Yisrael out of his land.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the
land of Egypt.
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and
bring forth mine armies, [and] my people the children of Yisrael, out of the
land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] YAHUAH, when I stretch forth mine
hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Yisrael from among them.
6 And Mosheh and Aaron did as YAHUAH commanded them, so did they.
7 And Mosheh [was] fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old,
when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 And YAHUAH spake unto Mosheh and unto Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou
shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall
become a serpent.
10 And Mosheh and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as YAHUAH had
commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants,
and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of
Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's
rod swallowed up their rods.
13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as YAHUAH
had said.
14 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened, he refuseth to
let the people go.
15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and
thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was
turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 And thou shalt say unto him, YAHUAH YAH 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 wouldest not hear.
17 Thus saith YAHUAH, In this thou shalt know that I [am] YAHUAH: behold, I will
smite with the rod that [is] in mine 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 Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 And YAHUAH spake unto Mosheh, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out
thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, 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 Egypt, both in [vessels
of] wood, and in [vessels of] stone.
20 And Mosheh and Aaron did so, as YAHUAH 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.
21 And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river stank, and the
Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood
throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as YAHUAH had said.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to
this also.
24 And all the Egyptians digged 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.
