GOD’S WORD Translation

The First Plague—the Nile River Turns into Blood

¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh is being stubborn. He refuses to let my people go. ¹⁵ In the morning meet Pharaoh when he’s on his way to the Nile. Wait for him on the bank of the river. Take along the staff that turned into a snake. ¹⁶ Say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to tell you, “Let my people go to worship me in the desert.” So far you have not listened.
