Exodus 7
1599 Geneva Bible
7 3 God hardeneth Pharaoh’s heart. 10 Moses and Aaron do the miracles of the serpent, and the blood: and Pharaoh’s sorcerers do the like.
1 Then the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I have made thee [a]Pharaoh’s [b]God, and Aaron thy brother shall [c]be thy Prophet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I commanded thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he suffer the children of Israel to go out of his land.
3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my miracles, and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 And Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out mine armies, even my people, the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by great [d]judgments.
5 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, even so did they.
7 (Now Moses was [e]fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three, when they spake unto Pharaoh.)
8 ¶ And the Lord had spoken unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 If Pharaoh speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you, then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall be turned into a [f]serpent.
10 ¶ Then went Moses and Aaron unto Pharaoh, and did even as the Lord had commanded, and Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it was turned into a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and [g]sorcerers: and those charmers also of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they were turned into serpents: but Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.
13 So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord had said.
14 ¶ The Lord then said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is [h]obstinate, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Go unto Pharaoh in the morning, (lo, he will come forth unto the water) and thou shalt stand and meet him by [i]the river’s brink, and the rod, which was turned into a serpent, shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 And thou shalt say unto him, The Lord God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go that they may serve me in the wilderness: and behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17 Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the water that is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink, and it shall [j]grieve the Egyptians to drink of the water of the river.
19 ¶ The Lord then spake to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, and over their ponds, and over all pools of their waters, and they shall be [k]blood, and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and of stone.
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 [l]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 [m]likewise with their sorceries: and the heart of Pharaoh was [n]hardened: so that he did not hearken unto them, as the Lord hath said.
23 Then Pharaoh returned, and went again into his house, [o]neither did this yet enter into his heart.
24 All the Egyptians then dug round about the river for waters to drink: for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And this [p]continued fully seven days after the Lord had smitten the river.

7 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Gagawin kitang parang Diyos sa harapan ng Faraon, at ang kapatid mong si Aaron ang magiging tagapagsalita mo. 2 Lahat ng sabihin ko sa iyo ay sasabihin mo kay Aaron; siya naman ang magsasabi sa Faraon na payagan na kayong umalis ng Egipto. 3 Ngunit(A) patitigasin ko ang puso ng Faraon, at gumawa man ako ng maraming kababalaghan sa Egipto 4 ay hindi siya makikinig sa iyo. Kung magkagayon ipadarama ko sa kanila ang bigat ng aking kamay. Paparusahan ko ang buong Egipto at ilalabas ko mula roon ang aking mga hukbo, ang aking bayan, ang mga Israelita. 5 Makikilala ng mga Egipcio na ako si Yahweh kapag natikman nila ang bigat ng aking kamay at inilabas ko na sa Egipto ang mga Israelita.” 6 At ginawa nina Moises at Aaron ang lahat ng iniutos ni Yahweh. 7 Walumpung taon si Moises at walumpu't tatlo naman si Aaron nang makipag-usap sila sa Faraon.
Ang Tungkod ni Aaron
8 Sinabi pa ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, 9 “Kapag sinabi sa inyo ng Faraon na magpakita kayo ng kababalaghan bilang katunayan ng pagkasugo ko sa inyo, sabihin mo kay Aaron na ihagis ang kanyang tungkod sa harapan ng Faraon at magiging ahas iyon.” 10 Nagpunta nga sila sa Faraon tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh. Pagdating doon, inihagis ni Aaron ang kanyang tungkod sa harapan ng Faraon at ng mga tauhan nito. At naging ahas nga ang tungkod. 11 Kaya ipinatawag ng Faraon ang mga matatalinong tao at mga salamangkero at sa pamamagitan ng kanilang lihim na karunungan ay ipinagaya ang ginawa ni Aaron. 12 Inihagis nila sa lupa ang kanilang mga tungkod at naging ahas din, ngunit ang mga ito'y nilulon ng tungkod ni Aaron. 13 Gayunma'y nagmatigas pa rin ang Faraon at hindi nakinig kina Moises at Aaron, gaya ng sinabi ni Yahweh.
Ang Unang Salot: Naging Dugo ang Tubig
14 Sinabi(B) ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Nagmamatigas ang Faraon. Ayaw pa ring paalisin ang mga Israelita. 15 Kaya, bukas ng umaga, dalhin mo ang tungkod na naging ahas, at hintayin mo ang Faraon pagpunta niya sa tabing ilog. 16 Sabihin mo sa kanya ang ganito, ‘Pinapunta ako rito ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng mga Hebreo upang sabihin sa iyo na payagan mong umalis ang kanyang bayang Israel at sumamba sa kanya sa ilang. Hanggang ngayon ay ayaw mo pa ring sumunod. 17 Ngunit(C) tiyak na kikilalanin mo si Yahweh sa pamamagitan nitong gagawin niya. Tingnan mo, ihahampas ko sa Ilog Nilo ang tungkod na ito at magiging dugo ang tubig 18 at mamamatay ang mga isda. Dahil dito, babaho ang ilog at hindi maiinom ng mga Egipcio ang tubig nito.’”
19 Idinugtong pa ni Yahweh, “Pagkatapos, sabihin mo kay Aaron na itaas ang kanyang tungkod at sumpain ang lahat ng tubig sa Egipto. Ang lahat ng tubig sa mga ilog, kanal at lawa ay magiging dugo, pati ang nasa mga batya at tapayan.”
20 Ginawa nina Moises at Aaron ang iniutos sa kanila ni Yahweh. Sa harapan ng Faraon at ng mga tauhan nito ay inihampas ni Aaron sa tubig ang kanyang tungkod at naging dugo nga ang tubig. 21 Namatay ang mga isda at bumaho ang ilog, kaya't hindi mainom ng mga Egipcio ang tubig nito. Naging dugo rin ang lahat ng tubig sa buong Egipto. 22 Ngunit nagaya rin ito ng mga salamangkerong Egipcio sa pamamagitan ng kanilang lihim na karunungan kaya't lalong nagmatigas ang Faraon. Ayaw pa rin niyang pakinggan sina Moises at Aaron, tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh. 23 Ang ginawa nila'y hindi pinansin ng Faraon, umuwi na lang ito sa palasyo. 24 Samantala, ang mga Egipcio ay humukay sa tabing ilog upang kumuha ng inumin sapagkat hindi nila mainom ang tubig sa ilog.
25 At lumipas ang pitong araw mula nang hampasin ni Yahweh ang tubig.
