Exodus 7 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
[2] You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
[3] I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
[4] But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
[5] The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
[6] Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.
[7] Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
[8] Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
[9] “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’ ”
[10] Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
[11] Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
[12] For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
[13] Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
[14] Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
[15] Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
[16] You shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
[17] Yahweh says, “In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
[18] The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.” ’ ”
[19] Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your 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. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’ ”
[20] Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck 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] The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
[22] The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
[23] Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
[24] All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
[25] Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.

Young’s Literal Translation

Exodus 7 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;
[2] thou-thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
[3] ‘And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
[4] and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
[5] and the Egyptians have known that I am Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.’
[6] And Moses doth-Aaron also-as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;
[7] and Moses is a son of eighty years, and Aaron is a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.
[8] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[9] ‘When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh-it becometh a monster.’
[10] And Moses goeth in-Aaron also-unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.
[11] And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,
[12] and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods;
[13] and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
[14] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;
[15] go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take in thy hand,
[16] and thou hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
[17] ‘Thus said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I am Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which is in my hand, on the waters which are in the River, and they have been turned to blood,
[18] and the fish that are in the River die, and the River hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.’
[19] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood-and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in those of stone.’
[20] And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up his hand with the rod, and smiteth the waters which are in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which are in the River are turned to blood,
[21] and the fish which is in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.
[22] And the scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken,
[23] and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath not set his heart even to this;
[24] and all the Egyptians seek water round about the river to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
[25] And seven days are completed after Jehovah’s smiting the River,
