⁴⁵Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. ^(A)But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have ^(B)defied. ⁴⁶This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give ^(C)the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, ^(D)that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

Exodus 15

New King James Version

The Song of Moses^(A)

15 Then ^(B)Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:

“I will ^(C)sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!
²The Lord is my strength and ^(D)song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and ^(E)I will praise Him;
My ^(F)father’s God, and I ^(G)will exalt Him.
³The Lord is a man of ^(H)war;
The Lord is His ^(I)name.
⁴^(J)Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
^(K)His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
⁵The depths have covered them;
^(L)They sank to the bottom like a stone.

⁶“Your ^(M)right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
⁷And in the greatness of Your ^(N)excellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth ^(O)Your wrath;
It ^(P)consumed them ^(Q)like stubble.
⁸And ^(R)with the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
^(S)The floods stood upright like a heap;
The depths ^[a]congealed in the heart of the sea.
⁹^(T)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will ^(U)divide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.’
¹⁰You blew with Your wind,
The sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹“Who^(V) is like You, O Lord, among the ^[b]gods?
Who is like You, ^(W)glorious in holiness,
Fearful in ^(X)praises, ^(Y)doing wonders?
¹²You stretched out Your right hand;
The earth swallowed them.
¹³You in Your mercy have ^(Z)led forth
The people whom You have redeemed;
You have guided them in Your strength
To ^(AA)Your holy habitation.

¹⁴“The ^(AB)people will hear and be afraid;
^(AC)Sorrow^[c] will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
¹⁵^(AD)Then ^(AE)the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;
^(AF)The mighty men of Moab,
Trembling will take hold of them;
^(AG)All the inhabitants of Canaan will ^(AH)melt away.
¹⁶^(AI)Fear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be ^(AJ)as still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, O Lord,
Till the people pass over
^(AK)Whom You have purchased.
¹⁷You will bring them in and ^(AL)plant them
In the ^(AM)mountain of Your inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which You have made
For Your own dwelling,
The ^(AN)sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

¹⁸“The^(AO) Lord shall reign forever and ever.”

¹⁹For the ^(AP)horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and ^(AQ)the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

The Song of Miriam^(AR)

²⁰Then Miriam ^(AS)the prophetess, ^(AT)the sister of Aaron, ^(AU)took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her ^(AV)with timbrels and with dances. ²¹And Miriam ^(AW)answered them:

^(AX)“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”

Bitter Waters Made Sweet

²²So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of ^(AY)Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no ^(AZ)water. ²³Now when they came to ^(BA)Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called ^[d]Marah. ²⁴And the people ^(BB)complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” ²⁵So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. ^(BC)When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.

There He ^(BD)made a statute and an ^[e]ordinance for them, and there ^(BE)He tested them, ²⁶and said, ^(BF)“If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the ^(BG)diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord ^(BH)who heals you.”

²⁷^(BI)Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.

Exodus 7

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. ²You ^(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. ³And ^(D)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and ^(E)multiply My ^(F)signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. ⁴But ^(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. ⁵And 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.”

⁶Then Moses and Aaron ^(M)did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. ⁷And Moses was ^(N)eighty years old and ^(O)Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Aaron’s Miraculous Rod^(P)

⁸Then 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.’ ” ¹⁰So 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.

¹¹But 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. ¹²For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. ¹³And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the Lord had said.

The First Plague: Waters Become Blood

¹⁴So the Lord said to Moses: ^(X)“Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go. ¹⁵Go 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. ¹⁶And 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! ¹⁷Thus 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. ¹⁸And 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.” ’ ”

¹⁹Then 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.’ ” ²⁰And 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. ²¹The 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. ²³And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. Neither was his heart moved by this. ²⁴So all the Egyptians dug all around the river for water to drink, because they could not drink the water of the river. ²⁵And seven days passed after the Lord had struck the river.

New King James Version

⁴³When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
⁴⁴^(A)Turned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.
⁴⁵^(B)He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And ^(C)frogs, which destroyed them.
⁴⁶He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the ^(D)locust.
⁴⁷^(E)He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.
⁴⁸He also gave up their ^(F)cattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery ^[a]lightning.
⁴⁹He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them.
⁵⁰He made a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave ^[b]their life over to the plague,
⁵¹And destroyed all the ^(G)firstborn in Egypt,
The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
