Exodus 7:20-22
Authorized (King James) Version
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. 21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. 22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the Lord had said.

New King James Version
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the Lord commanded. So he (A)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 (B)waters that were in the river were turned to blood. 21 The fish that were in the river died, the river stank, and the Egyptians (C)could not drink the water of the river. So there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 (D)Then the magicians of Egypt did (E)so with their [a]enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, (F)as the Lord had said.

20 So Moses and Aaron did even as the Lord commanded: (A)and he lift up the rod, and smote the water that was in the river in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants: and (B)all the water that was in the river, was turned into blood.
21 And the [a]fish that was in the river died, and the river stank: so that the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river: and there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
22 And the enchanters of Egypt did [b]likewise with their sorceries: and the heart of Pharaoh was [c]hardened: so that he did not hearken unto them, as the Lord hath said.
