Exodus 7:3-12
New International Version
3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,(A) and though I multiply my signs and wonders(B) in Egypt, 4 he will not listen(C) to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment(D) I will bring out my divisions,(E) my people the Israelites. 5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(F) when I stretch out my hand(G) against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.”
6 Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded(H) them. 7 Moses was eighty years old(I) 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,(J)’ then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.”(K)
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,(L) and the Egyptian magicians(M) also did the same things by their secret arts:(N) 12 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.
