¹⁷ And you shall take in your hand ^(A)this staff, ^(B)with which you shall do the signs.”

²⁰ So Moses took his wife and his ^(A)sons and mounted them on a donkey and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also took the ^(B)staff of God in his hand.

¹⁹ Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and ^(A)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their ^[a]streams, and over their pools and over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

^21 (A)Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Yahweh ^[a]swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea into ^(B)dry ground, so ^(C)the waters were split.

²⁶ Then Yahweh said to Moses, “^(A)Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.”
