The Plague of Water Turning to Blood
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is [a]hard with firmness; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning [b]as (A)he is going out to the water, and station yourself to meet him on the bank of the Nile; and you shall take in your hand (B)the staff that was turned into a serpent. 16 (C)And you shall say to him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “(D)Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened until now.” 17 Thus says Yahweh, “(E)By this you shall know that I am Yahweh: behold, I am about to strike [c]the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and (F)it will be turned to blood. 18 (G)And the fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will [d]become foul, and the Egyptians will (H)be weary of drinking water from the Nile.”’” 19 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and (I)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their [e]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.’”
20 So Moses and Aaron did thus, as Yahweh had commanded. And he raised up [f](J)the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and (K)all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. 21 And the fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile [g]became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt. 22 (L)Yet the [h]magicians of Egypt did [i]the same with their secret arts; and Pharaoh’s heart was [j]hardened with strength, and he did not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken. 23 Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not set his heart even on this. 24 So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the Nile. 25 And seven full days [k]passed after Yahweh had struck the Nile.

Exodus 7:14-25
American Standard Version
14 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is [a]stubborn, 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 to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand. 16 And thou shalt say unto him, Jehovah, the 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 hast not hearkened. 17 Thus saith Jehovah, In this thou shalt know that I am Jehovah: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. 18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river. 19 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their [b]streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall 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 Jehovah 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 were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt. 22 And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart [c]was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken. 23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he [d]lay even this to heart. 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 Jehovah had smitten the river.
