Exodus 7
King James Version
7 And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 And 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 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to 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 waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
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.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the Lord had smitten the river.
Éxodo 7
Biblia del Jubileo
7 ¶ El SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Mira, yo te he constituido por dios del Faraón, y tu hermano Aarón será tu profeta.
2 Tú dirás todas las cosas que yo te mandare, y Aarón tu hermano hablará al Faraón, para que deje ir de su tierra a los hijos de Israel.
3 Y yo endureceré el corazón del Faraón, y multiplicaré en la tierra de Egipto mis señales y mis maravillas.
4 Y el Faraón no os oirá; mas yo pondré mi mano sobre Egipto, y sacaré a mis ejércitos, mi pueblo, los hijos de Israel, de la tierra de Egipto, con grandes juicios.
5 Y sabrán los egipcios que yo soy el SEÑOR, cuando extendiere mi mano sobre Egipto, y sacare los hijos de Israel de en medio de ellos.
6 E hizo Moisés y Aarón como el SEÑOR les mandó: así lo hicieron.
7 Moisés entonces era de edad de ochenta años, y Aarón de edad de ochenta y tres, cuando hablaron al Faraón.
8 ¶ Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
9 Si el Faraón os respondiere diciendo: Mostrad milagro; dirás a Aarón: Toma tu vara, y échala delante del Faraón, para que se convierta en dragón.
10 Vinieron, pues, Moisés y Aarón al Faraón, e hicieron como el SEÑOR lo había mandado; y echó Aarón su vara delante del Faraón y de sus esclavos, y se convirtió dragón.
11 Entonces llamó también el Faraón sabios y encantadores; e hicieron también lo mismo los encantadores de Egipto con su adoración al fuego;
12 pues echó cada uno su vara, las cuales se volvieron dragones; mas la vara de Aarón tragó las varas de ellos.
13 Y el corazón del Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó; como el SEÑOR lo había dicho.
14 ¶ Entonces el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: El corazón del Faraón está agravado, que no quiere dejar ir al pueblo.
15 Ve por la mañana al Faraón, he aquí que él sale a las aguas; y tú ponte a la orilla del río delante de él, y toma en tu mano la vara que se volvió culebra,
16 y dile: El SEÑOR, el Dios de los hebreos me ha enviado a ti, diciendo: Deja ir a mi pueblo, para que me sirvan en el desierto; y he aquí que hasta ahora no has querido oír.
17 Así ha dicho el SEÑOR: En esto conocerás que yo soy el SEÑOR; he aquí, yo heriré con la vara que tengo en mi mano el agua que está en el río, y se volverá sangre.
18 Y los peces que hay en el río morirán, y hederá el río, y tendrán asco los egipcios de beber el agua del río.
19 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Di a Aarón: Toma tu vara, y extiende tu mano sobre las aguas de Egipto, sobre sus ríos, sobre sus arroyos y sobre sus estanques, y sobre todos sus recogimientos de aguas, para que se vuelvan sangre, y haya sangre por toda la región de Egipto, así en los vasos de madera como en los de piedra.
20 Y Moisés y Aarón hicieron como el SEÑOR lo mandó; y alzando la vara hirió las aguas que había en el río, en presencia del Faraón y de sus esclavos; y todas las aguas que había en el río se volvieron sangre.
21 Asimismo los peces que había en el río murieron; y el río se corrompió, tanto que los egipcios no podían beber de él; y hubo sangre por toda la tierra de Egipto.
22 Y los encantadores de Egipto hicieron lo mismo con sus encantamientos; y el corazón del Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó; como el SEÑOR lo había dicho.
23 Y tornando el Faraón se volvió a su casa, y aun con esto no se lo tomó de corazón.
24 Y en todo Egipto hicieron pozos alrededor del río para beber, porque no podían beber de las aguas del río.
25 Y se cumplieron siete días después que el SEÑOR hirió el río.
Exodus 7
New King James Version
Moses Before Pharaoh
7 So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you (A)as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be (B)your prophet. 2 You (C)shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. 3 And (D)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and (E)multiply My (F)signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But (G)Pharaoh will not heed you, so (H)that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My [a]armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt (I)by great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians (J)shall know that I am the Lord, when I (K)stretch out My hand on Egypt and (L)bring out the children of Israel from among them.”
6 Then Moses and Aaron (M)did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. 7 And Moses was (N)eighty years old and (O)Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Aaron’s Miraculous Rod(P)
8 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, (Q)‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, (R)‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ” 10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just (S)as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it (T)became a serpent.
11 But Pharaoh also (U)called the wise men and (V)the [b]sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also (W)did in like manner with their [c]enchantments. 12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. 13 And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the Lord had said.
The First Plague: Waters Become Blood
14 So the Lord said to Moses: (X)“Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the (Y)water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and (Z)the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand. 16 And you shall say to him, (AA)‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, (AB)that they may [d]serve Me in the wilderness”; but indeed, until now you would not hear! 17 Thus says the Lord: “By this (AC)you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and (AD)they shall be turned (AE)to blood. 18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, the river shall stink, and the Egyptians will (AF)loathe[e] to drink the water of the river.” ’ ”
19 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and (AG)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they may become blood. And there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in buckets of wood and pitchers of stone.’ ” 20 And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the Lord commanded. So he (AH)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 (AI)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 (AJ)could not drink the water of the river. So there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 (AK)Then the magicians of Egypt did (AL)so with their [f]enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, (AM)as the Lord had said. 23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. Neither was his heart moved by this. 24 So all the Egyptians dug all around the river for water to drink, because they could not drink the water of the river. 25 And seven days passed after the Lord had struck the river.
