English Standard Version

The Song of Moses

15 Then Moses and the people of Israel ^(A)sang this song to the Lord, saying,

^(B)“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
    the horse and his rider^[a] he has thrown into the sea.
²^(C)The Lord is my strength and my ^(D)song,
    and he has become ^(E)my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
    ^(F)my father's God, and ^(G)I will exalt him.
³The Lord is ^(H)a man of war;
    ^(I)the Lord is his name.

⁴^(J)“Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
    and his chosen ^(K)officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
⁵The ^(L)floods covered them;
    they ^(M)went down into the depths like a stone.
⁶^(N)Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
    your right hand, O Lord, ^(O)shatters the enemy.
⁷In the ^(P)greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
    you send out your fury; it ^(Q)consumes them like stubble.
⁸At the ^(R)blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
    the ^(S)floods stood up in a heap;
    the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
⁹The enemy said, ^(T)‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
    I ^(U)will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
    I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
¹⁰You ^(V)blew with your wind; the ^(W)sea covered them;
    they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹^(X)“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
    Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
    awesome in ^(Y)glorious deeds, ^(Z)doing wonders?
¹²You stretched out ^(AA)your right hand;
    the earth swallowed them.

¹³“You have ^(AB)led in your steadfast love the people whom ^(AC)you have redeemed;
    you have ^(AD)guided them by your strength to your holy abode.
¹⁴^(AE)The peoples have heard; they tremble;
    pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
¹⁵Now are the chiefs of Edom ^(AF)dismayed;
    trembling seizes the leaders of ^(AG)Moab;
    ^(AH)all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
¹⁶Terror and ^(AI)dread fall upon them;
    because of the greatness of your arm, they are still ^(AJ)as a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
    till the people pass by whom ^(AK)you have purchased.
¹⁷You will bring them in and ^(AL)plant them on your own mountain,
    the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,
    ^(AM)the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
¹⁸^(AN)The Lord will reign forever and ever.”

¹⁹For when ^(AO)the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, ^(AP)the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. ²⁰Then ^(AQ)Miriam ^(AR)the prophetess, the ^(AS)sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and ^(AT)all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. ²¹And Miriam sang to them:

^(AU)“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

Bitter Water Made Sweet

²²Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of ^(AV)Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. ²³When they came to ^(AW)Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.^[b] ²⁴And the people ^(AX)grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” ²⁵And he ^(AY)cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log,^[c] and he ^(AZ)threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.

There the Lord^[d] made for them a statute and a rule, and there he ^(BA)tested them, ²⁶saying, ^(BB)“If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the ^(BC)diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, ^(BD)your healer.”

²⁷Then ^(BE)they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.

English Standard Version

Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh

7 And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like ^(A)God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your ^(B)prophet. ²^(C)You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. ³But ^(D)I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I ^(E)multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, ⁴Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. ⁵The Egyptians ^(F)shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” ⁶Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. ⁷Now Moses was ^(G)eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

⁸Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ⁹“When Pharaoh says to you, ^(H)‘Prove yourselves by working a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” ¹⁰So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. ¹¹Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the ^(I)magicians of Egypt, also ^(J)did the same by their secret arts. ¹²For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs. ¹³Still ^(K)Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, ^(L)as the Lord had said.

The First Plague: Water Turned to Blood

¹⁴Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh's heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go. ¹⁵^(M)Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water. Stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand ^(N)the staff that turned into a ^(O)serpent. ¹⁶And you shall say to him, ‘The ^(P)Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, ^(Q)that they may serve me in the wilderness.” But so far, you have not obeyed. ¹⁷Thus says the Lord, “By this ^(R)you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and ^(S)it shall turn into blood. ¹⁸The fish in the Nile shall die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will ^(T)grow weary of drinking water from the Nile.”’” ¹⁹And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and ^(U)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

²⁰Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded. In the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants he ^(V)lifted up the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the ^(W)water in the Nile turned into blood. ²¹And the fish in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians ^(X)could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. ²²But ^(Y)the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts. So ^(Z)Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them, as ^(AA)the Lord had said. ²³Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart. ²⁴And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the Nile.

²⁵Seven full days passed after the Lord had struck the Nile.

⁴³^(A)when he performed his ^(B)signs in Egypt
    and his ^(C)marvels in ^(D)the fields of Zoan.
⁴⁴He ^(E)turned their rivers to blood,
    so that they could not drink of their streams.
⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of ^(F)flies, which devoured them,
    and ^(G)frogs, which destroyed them.
⁴⁶He gave their crops to ^(H)the destroying locust
    and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with ^(I)hail
    and their sycamores with frost.
⁴⁸He gave over their ^(J)cattle to the hail
    and their flocks to thunderbolts.
⁴⁹He let loose on them his burning anger,
    wrath, indignation, and distress,
    a company of ^(K)destroying angels.
⁵⁰He made a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death,
    but gave their lives over to the plague.
⁵¹He struck down every ^(L)firstborn in Egypt,
    the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of ^(M)Ham.
