2 Moseboken 7
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
7 (A) Men Herren sade till Mose: ”Se, jag sätter dig att vara som Gud för farao, och din bror Aron ska vara din profet. 2 Du ska tala allt jag befaller dig. Sedan ska din bror Aron tala med farao om att släppa Israels barn ut ur sitt land. 3 Men jag ska förhärda faraos hjärta och göra många tecken och under i Egyptens land. 4 Farao kommer inte att lyssna på er, men jag ska lägga min hand på Egypten och föra mina härskaror, mitt folk, Israels barn, ut ur Egypten genom stora straffdomar. 5 Och egyptierna ska inse att jag är Herren, när jag räcker ut min hand över Egypten och för Israels barn ut därifrån.”
6 Mose och Aron gjorde så, de gjorde som Herren hade befallt dem. 7 Mose var åttio år och Aron åttiotre när de talade med farao.
Arons stav
8 Herren sade till Mose och Aron: 9 ”När farao säger till er: Låt oss se något under! då ska du säga till Aron: Ta din stav och kasta den framför farao så ska den bli en stor orm.” 10 Mose och Aron gick till farao och gjorde som Herren hade befallt. Aron kastade sin stav framför farao och hans tjänare, och den blev en stor orm.
11 (B) Då kallade farao till sig sina vise män och trollkarlar, och även dessa, de egyptiska spåmännen, gjorde samma tecken genom sina magiska konster. 12 Var och en kastade sin stav, och stavarna blev stora ormar. Men Arons stav slukade deras stavar. 13 Ändå förblev faraos hjärta hårt och han lyssnade inte på dem, precis som Herren hade sagt.
Den första plågan – vattnet blir blod
14 Därefter sade Herren till Mose: ”Faraos hjärta är hårt, han vägrar att släppa folket. 15 Men gå till honom på morgonen då han går ut till vattnet. Ställ dig i hans väg på stranden av Nilen och ta i din hand staven som förvandlades till en orm. 16 Säg till honom: Herren, hebreernas Gud, har sänt mig till dig för att säga: Släpp mitt folk, så att de kan hålla gudstjänst åt mig i öknen. Men se, hittills har du inte velat lyssna. 17 Därför säger Herren så: Genom detta ska du förstå att jag är Herren. Se, med staven som jag håller i handen ska jag slå Nilens vatten så att det förvandlas till blod[a]. 18 Fiskarna i floden ska dö, och Nilen ska stinka så att egyptierna inte kan dricka vattnet i floden.” 19 Och Herren sade till Mose: ”Säg till Aron: Ta din stav och räck ut handen över Egyptens vatten, över dess strömmar, kanaler och sjöar och alla andra vattensamlingar, så ska de bli blod. Över hela Egyptens land ska det vara blod, både i träkärl och stenkärl.”
20 (C) Mose och Aron gjorde som Herren hade befallt. Han lyfte upp staven och slog vattnet i Nilen inför faraos och hans tjänares ögon. Då förvandlades allt vatten i floden till blod. 21 Fiskarna i Nilen dog och floden stank så att egyptierna inte kunde dricka vattnet från floden. Det var blod i hela Egyptens land.
22 Men de egyptiska spåmännen gjorde samma tecken genom sina magiska konster. Och faraos hjärta förblev hårt så att han inte lyssnade på dem, precis som Herren hade sagt. 23 Farao gick därifrån hem till sitt palats och brydde sig inte om det heller. 24 Och i hela Egypten grävde man efter dricksvatten kring Nilen, eftersom vattnet i floden inte var drickbart.
25 Sedan gick det sju dagar efter att Herren hade slagit Nilen.

- 7:17 förvandlas till blod Uttrycket används en gång före Moses tid, i den egyptiska Ipuwerpapyrusen från 1600-talet eller 1500-talet f Kr, där det klagas över att Nilens vatten har blivit blod och inte går att dricka. Flera förklaringar har föreslagits, t ex en algblomning.

Moses Before Pharaoh
7 So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you (A)as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be (B)your prophet. 2 You (C)shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. 3 And (D)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and (E)multiply My (F)signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But (G)Pharaoh will not heed you, so (H)that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My [a]armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt (I)by great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians (J)shall know that I am the Lord, when I (K)stretch out My hand on Egypt and (L)bring out the children of Israel from among them.”
6 Then Moses and Aaron (M)did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. 7 And Moses was (N)eighty years old and (O)Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Aaron’s Miraculous Rod(P)
8 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, (Q)‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, (R)‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ” 10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just (S)as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it (T)became a serpent.
11 But Pharaoh also (U)called the wise men and (V)the [b]sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also (W)did in like manner with their [c]enchantments. 12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. 13 And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the Lord had said.
The First Plague: Waters Become Blood
14 So the Lord said to Moses: (X)“Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the (Y)water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and (Z)the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand. 16 And you shall say to him, (AA)‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, (AB)that they may [d]serve Me in the wilderness”; but indeed, until now you would not hear! 17 Thus says the Lord: “By this (AC)you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and (AD)they shall be turned (AE)to blood. 18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, the river shall stink, and the Egyptians will (AF)loathe[e] to drink the water of the river.” ’ ”
19 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and (AG)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they may become blood. And there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in buckets of wood and pitchers of stone.’ ” 20 And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the Lord commanded. So he (AH)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 (AI)waters that were in the river were turned to blood. 21 The fish that were in the river died, the river stank, and the Egyptians (AJ)could not drink the water of the river. So there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 (AK)Then the magicians of Egypt did (AL)so with their [f]enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, (AM)as the Lord had said. 23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. Neither was his heart moved by this. 24 So all the Egyptians dug all around the river for water to drink, because they could not drink the water of the river. 25 And seven days passed after the Lord had struck the river.

7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God(A) to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.(B) 2 You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. 3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,(C) and though I multiply my signs and wonders(D) in Egypt, 4 he will not listen(E) to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment(F) I will bring out my divisions,(G) my people the Israelites. 5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(H) when I stretch out my hand(I) against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.”
6 Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded(J) them. 7 Moses was eighty years old(K) and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Aaron’s Staff Becomes a Snake
8 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,(L)’ then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.”(M)
10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. 11 Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers,(N) and the Egyptian magicians(O) also did the same things by their secret arts:(P) 12 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart(Q) became hard and he would not listen(R) to them, just as the Lord had said.
The Plague of Blood
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding;(S) he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes out to the river.(T) Confront him on the bank of the Nile,(U) and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake. 16 Then say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you: Let my people go, so that they may worship(V) me in the wilderness. But until now you have not listened.(W) 17 This is what the Lord says: By this you will know that I am the Lord:(X) With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood.(Y) 18 The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink;(Z) the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water.’”(AA)
19 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff(AB) and stretch out your hand(AC) over the waters of Egypt—over the streams and canals, over the ponds and all the reservoirs—and they will turn to blood.’ Blood will be everywhere in Egypt, even in vessels[a] of wood and stone.”
20 Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded.(AD) He raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the water of the Nile,(AE) and all the water was changed into blood.(AF) 21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. Blood was everywhere in Egypt.
22 But the Egyptian magicians(AG) did the same things by their secret arts,(AH) and Pharaoh’s heart(AI) became hard; he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said. 23 Instead, he turned and went into his palace, and did not take even this to heart. 24 And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile to get drinking water(AJ), because they could not drink the water of the river.
The Plague of Frogs
25 Seven days passed after the Lord struck the Nile.
