Exodus 7:20-24
New American Standard Bible
20 So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded. And he lifted up [a](A)the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants; and (B)all the water that was in the Nile was turned into blood. 21 Then 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. 22 (C)But the soothsayer priests of Egypt did the same with their secret arts; and Pharaoh’s heart was [b]hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said. 23 Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house [c]with no concern even for this. 24 So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink from the water of the Nile.
