New King James Version
27 They (A)performed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.
29 (B)He turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.
30 (C)Their land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 (D)He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory.
32 (E)He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 (F)He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory.
34 (G)He spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number,
35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 (H)He also [a]destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
(I)The first of all their strength.

New King James Version
12 (A)Marvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers,
In the land of Egypt, (B)in the field of Zoan.
13 (C)He divided the sea and caused them to pass through;
And (D)He made the waters stand up like a heap.
14 (E)In the daytime also He led them with the cloud,
And all the night with a light of fire.
15 (F)He split the rocks in the wilderness,
And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.
16 He also brought (G)streams out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 But they sinned even more against Him
By (H)rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
18 And (I)they tested God in their heart
By asking for the food of their fancy.
19 (J)Yes, they spoke against God:
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 (K)Behold, He struck the rock,
So that the waters gushed out,
And the streams overflowed.
Can He give bread also?
Can He provide meat for His people?”
21 Therefore the Lord heard this and (L)was furious;
So a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also came up against Israel,
22 Because they (M)did not believe in God,
And did not trust in His salvation.
23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above,
(N)And opened the doors of heaven,
24 (O)Had rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the [a]bread of (P)heaven.
25 Men ate angels’ food;
He sent them food to [b]the full.
26 (Q)He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens;
And by His power He brought in the south wind.
27 He also rained meat on them like the dust,
Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;
28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,
All around their dwellings.
29 (R)So they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.
30 They were not [c]deprived of their craving;
But (S)while their food was still in their mouths,
31 The wrath of God came against them,
And slew the stoutest of them,
And struck down the choice men of Israel.
32 In spite of this (T)they still sinned,
And (U)did not believe in His wondrous works.
33 (V)Therefore their days He consumed in futility,
And their years in fear.

Not so much as one of them remained. 29 But (D)the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

New King James Version
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.

You did not forsake them in the wilderness.
The (C)pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,
To lead them on the road;
Nor the pillar of fire by night,
To show them light,
And the way they should go.
20 You also gave Your (D)good Spirit to instruct them,
And did not withhold Your (E)manna from their mouth,
And gave them (F)water for their thirst.

They lacked nothing;
Their (H)clothes did not wear out
And their feet did not swell.

So they took possession of the land of (I)Sihon,
