God judges Egypt

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה רְאֵ֛ה נְתַתִּ֥יךָ אֱלֹהִ֖ים לְפַרְעֹ֑ה וְאַהֲרֹ֥ן אָחִ֖יךָ יִהְיֶ֥ה נְבִיאֶֽךָ׃

1 Καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σὲ θεὸν Φαραώ,
καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἀδελφός σου ἔσται σου προφήτης·
1 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων· ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σε θεὸν Φαραώ,
καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἀδελφός σου ἔσται σου προφήτης·
1 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs, saying, “Look! I have given you as a god to Pharaō, and Aarōn, your brother, shall be your prophet. 1 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs, saying, “Look! I have given you as a god to Pharaō, and Aarōn, your brother, shall be your prophet.

2 You shall speak all that I command you: and Aaron your brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.

אַתָּ֣ה תְדַבֵּ֔ר אֵ֖ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲצַוֶּ֑ךָּ וְאַהֲרֹ֤ן אָחִ֙יךָ֙ יְדַבֵּ֣ר אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וְשִׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵאַרְצֹֽו׃

2 σὺ δὲ λαλήσεις αὐτῷ πάντα,
ὅσα σοί ἐντέλλομαι,
δὲ Ἀαρὼν ἀδελφός σου λαλήσει πρὸς Φαραὼ ὥστε ἐξαποστεῖλαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
2 σὺ δὲ λαλήσεις αὐτῷ πάντας,
ὅσα σοι ἐντέλλομαι,
δὲ Ἀαρὼν ἀδελφός σου λαλήσει πρὸς Φαραώ,
ὥστε ἐξαποστεῖλαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
2 Then you shall speak to him all things that I command you, and Aarōn, your brother, shall speak to Pharaō so that he sends the sons of Israēl out from his land. 2 Then you shall speak to him all things that I command you, and Aarōn, your brother, shall speak to Pharaō so that he sends the sons of Israēl out from his land.

3 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

וַאֲנִ֥י אַקְשֶׁ֖ה אֶת־לֵ֣ב פַּרְעֹ֑ה וְהִרְבֵּיתִ֧י אֶת־אֹתֹתַ֛י וְאֶת־מֹופְתַ֖י בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

3 ἐγὼ δὲ σκληρυνῶ τὴν καρδίαν Φαραὼ καὶ πληθυνῶ τὰ σημεῖά μου καὶ τὰ τέρατα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ. 3 ἐγὼ δὲ σκληρυνῶ τὴν καρδίαν Φαραὼ καὶ πληθυνῶ τὰ σημεῖά μου καὶ τὰ τέρατα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ.
3 But I will harden Pharaō’s heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in Aigypt’s land. 3 But I will harden Pharaō’s heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in Aigypt’s land.

4 But Pharaoh shall not listen to you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

וְלֹֽא־יִשְׁמַ֤ע אֲלֵכֶם֙ פַּרְעֹ֔ה וְנָתַתִּ֥י אֶת־יָדִ֖י בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְהֹוצֵאתִ֨י אֶת־צִבְאֹתַ֜י אֶת־עַמִּ֤י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בִּשְׁפָטִ֖ים גְּדֹלִֽים׃

4 καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσεται ὑμῶν Φαραώ· καὶ ἐπιβαλῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐξάξω σὺν δυνάμει μου τὸν λαόν μου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου σὺν ἐκδικήσει μεγάλῃ, 4 καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσεται ὑμῶν Φαραώ· καὶ ἐπιβαλῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐξάξω σὺν δυνάμει μου τὸν λαόν μου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου σὺν ἐκδικήσει μεγάλῃ.
4 And Pharaō won’t listen to you, and I will lay my hand upon Aigypt, and I will bring out with my force, my people, the sons of Israēl, from Aigypt’s land with great vengeance. 4 And Pharaō won’t listen to you, and I will lay my hand upon Aigypt, and I will bring out with my force, my people, the sons of Israēl, from Aigypt’s land with great vengeance.

5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

וְיָדְע֤וּ מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה בִּנְטֹתִ֥י אֶת־יָדִ֖י עַל־מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהֹוצֵאתִ֥י אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִתֹּוכָֽם׃

5 καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ἐκτείνων τὴν χεῖρα ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον,
καὶ ἐξάξω τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν.
5 καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι,
ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ἐκτείνων τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον,
καὶ ἐξάξω τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν.
5 And all the Aigyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Aigypt, and I shall bring the sons of Israēl out from their midst.” 5 And all the Aigyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Aigypt, and I shall bring the sons of Israēl out from their midst.”

6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.

וַיַּ֥עַשׂ מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְאַהֲרֹ֑ן כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה אֹתָ֖ם כֵּ֥ן עָשֽׂוּ׃


7 And Moses was 80 years old, and Aaron 83 years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.

וּמֹשֶׁה֙ בֶּן־שְׁמֹנִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה וְאַֽהֲרֹ֔ן בֶּן־שָׁלֹ֥שׁ וּשְׁמֹנִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה בְּדַבְּרָ֖ם אֶל־פַּרְעֹֽה׃


Aaron’s Rod Becomes a Serpent

8 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃

8 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων 8 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων·
8 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs and Aarōn, saying, 8 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs and Aarōn, saying,

9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then you shall say unto Aaron, Take your rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.

כִּי֩ יְדַבֵּ֨ר אֲלֵכֶ֤ם פַּרְעֹה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר תְּנ֥וּ לָכֶ֖ם מֹופֵ֑ת וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן קַ֧ח אֶֽת־מַטְּךָ֛ וְהַשְׁלֵ֥ךְ לִפְנֵֽי־פַרְעֹ֖ה יְהִ֥י לְתַנִּֽין׃

9 καὶ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ λέγων δότε ἡμῖν σημεῖον τέρας,
καὶ ἐρεῖς Ἀαρὼν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου λαβὲ τὴν ῥάβδον καὶ ῥῖψον αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἔσται δράκων.
9 καὶ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ λέγων· δότε ἡμῖν σημεῖον τέρας,
καὶ ἐρεῖς Ἀαρὼν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου· λάβε τὴν ῥάβδον καὶ ῥίψον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἔσται δράκων.
9 “And if Pharaō should speak to you, saying, ‛Give us a sign or wonder,’ then you shall say to Aarōn, your brother, ‛Take the rod, and throw it upon the ground before Pharaō and before his attendants,’ and it will be a dragon.” 9 “And if Pharaō should speak to you, saying, ‛Give us a sign or wonder,’ then you shall say to Aarōn, your brother, ‛Take the rod, and throw it upon the ground before Pharaō and before his attendants,’ and it will be a dragon.”

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.

וַיָּבֹ֨א מֹשֶׁ֤ה וְאַהֲרֹן֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וַיַּ֣עַשׂוּ כֵ֔ן כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה וַיַּשְׁלֵ֨ךְ אַהֲרֹ֜ן אֶת־מַטֵּ֗הוּ לִפְנֵ֥י פַרְעֹ֛ה וְלִפְנֵ֥י עֲבָדָ֖יו וַיְהִ֥י לְתַנִּֽין׃


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.

וַיִּקְרָא֙ גַּם־פַּרְעֹ֔ה לַֽחֲכָמִ֖ים וְלַֽמְכַשְּׁפִ֑ים וַיַּֽעֲשׂ֨וּ גַם־הֵ֜ם חַרְטֻמֵּ֥י מִצְרַ֛יִם בְּלַהֲטֵיהֶ֖ם כֵּֽן׃

11 συνεκάλεσεν δὲ Φαραὼ τοὺς σοφιστὰς Αἰγύπτου καὶ τοὺς φαρμακούς,
καὶ ἐποίησαν καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ταῖς φαρμακείαις αὐτῶν ὡσαύτως.
11 συνεκάλεσε δὲ Φαραὼ τοὺς σοφιστὰς Αἰγύπτου καὶ τοὺς φαρμακούς,
καὶ ἐποίησαν καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ταῖς φαρμακείαις αὐτῶν ὡσαύτως.
11 But Pharaō summoned the experts of Aigypt and the sorcerers, and they also, the enchanters of the Aigyptians, did likewise by their magic potions. 11 But Pharaō summoned the experts of Aigypt and the sorcerers, and they also, the enchanters of the Aigyptians, did likewise by their magic potions.

12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

וַיַּשְׁלִ֙יכוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ מַטֵּ֔הוּ וַיִּהְי֖וּ לְתַנִּינִ֑ם וַיִּבְלַ֥ע מַטֵּֽה־אַהֲרֹ֖ן אֶת־מַטֹּתָֽם׃

12 καὶ ἔρριψαν ἕκαστος τὴν ῥάβδον αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἐγένοντο δράκοντες· καὶ κατέπιεν ῥάβδος Ἀαρὼν τὰς ἐκείνων ῥάβδους.
12 καὶ ἔρριψαν ἕκαστος τὴν ῥάβδον αὐτῶν,
καὶ ἐγένοντο δράκοντες· καὶ κατέπιεν ῥάβδος Ἀαρὼν τὰς ἐκείνων ῥάβδους.
12 And each one threw down his rod, and they became dragons, then the rod of Aarōn swallowed the rods of those men . 12 And each one threw down his rod, and they became dragons, then the rod of Aarōn swallowed the rods of those men .

13 And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he didn’t listen unto them; as the LORD had said.

וַיֶּחֱזַק֙ לֵ֣ב פַּרְעֹ֔ה וְלֹ֥א שָׁמַ֖ע אֲלֵהֶ֑ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָֽה׃

13 καὶ κατίσχυσεν καρδία Φαραώ,
καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν,
καθάπερ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς κύριος.
13 καὶ κατίσχυσεν καρδία Φαραώ,
καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν,
καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Κύριος.
13 And the heart of Pharaō was irresponsive, and he didn’t listen to them, just as the Lord spoke to them. 13 And the heart of Pharaō was irresponsive, and he didn’t listen to them, just as the Lord spoke to them.

Water Is Turned to Blood

14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה כָּבֵ֖ד לֵ֣ב פַּרְעֹ֑ה מֵאֵ֖ן לְשַׁלַּ֥ח הָעָֽם׃

14 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν βεβάρηται καρδία Φαραὼ τοῦ μὴ ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν. 14 Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· βεβάρηται καρδία Φαραὼ τοῦ μὴ ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν.
14 Now the Lord said to Mōysēs, “The heart of Pharaō is weighed down so as not to send out the people. 14 Now the Lord said to Mōysēs, “The heart of Pharaō is weighed down so as not to send out the people.

15 Get you unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goes out unto the water; and you shall stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shall you take in your hand.

לֵ֣ךְ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֞ה בַּבֹּ֗קֶר הִנֵּה֙ יֹצֵ֣א הַמַּ֔יְמָה וְנִצַּבְתָּ֥ לִקְרָאתֹ֖ו עַל־שְׂפַ֣ת הַיְאֹ֑ר וְהַמַּטֶּ֛ה אֲשֶׁר־נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ לְנָחָ֖שׁ תִּקַּ֥ח בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃

15 βάδισον πρὸς Φαραὼ τὸ πρωί· ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐκπορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ,
καὶ στήσῃ συναντῶν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν στραφεῖσαν εἰς ὄφιν λήμψῃ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου.
15 βάδισον πρὸς Φαραὼ τὸ πρωΐ· ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐκπορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ,

15 Go to Pharaō in the morning. Look! he is going out to the water, and you shall stand, meeting him on the bank of the river; and in your hand, you shall take the rod that was turned into a snake. 15 Go to Pharaō in the morning. Look! he is going out to the water, and you shall stand, meeting him on the bank of the river; and in your hand, you shall take the rod that was turned into a snake.

16 And you shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me unto you, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hereto you would not hear.

וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֗יו יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָעִבְרִים֙ שְׁלָחַ֤נִי אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר שַׁלַּח֙ אֶת־עַמִּ֔י וְיַֽעַבְדֻ֖נִי בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וְהִנֵּ֥ה לֹא־שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ עַד־כֹּֽה׃

16 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν κύριος θεὸς τῶν Ἑβραίων ἀπέσταλκέν με πρὸς σὲ λέγων ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου,
ἵνα μοι λατρεύσῃ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσήκουσας ἕως τούτου.
16 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν· Κύριος Θεὸς τῶν Ἑβραίων ἀπέσταλκέ με πρὸς σὲ λέγων· ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου,
ἵνα μοι λατρεύσῃ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσήκουσας ἕως τούτου.
16 And you shall say to him, ‛The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Send out my people in order that they may serve me in the wilderness. And Look! up to this time, you didn’t listen. 16 And you shall say to him, ‛The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Send out my people in order that they may serve me in the wilderness.

17 Thus says the LORD, In this you shall know that I am the LORD: 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.

כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה בְּזֹ֣את תֵּדַ֔ע כִּ֖י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הִנֵּ֨ה אָנֹכִ֜י מַכֶּ֣ה ׀ בַּמַּטֶּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־בְּיָדִ֗י עַל־הַמַּ֛יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּיְאֹ֖ר וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ לְדָֽם׃

17 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐν τούτῳ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τύπτω τῇ ῥάβδῳ τῇ ἐν τῇ χειρί μου ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ,
καὶ μεταβαλεῖ εἰς αἷμα·
17 τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐν τούτῳ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τύπτω τῇ ῥάβδῳ τῇ ἐν χειρί μου ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ,
καὶ μεταβαλεῖ εἰς αἷμα·

Look! with the rod that is in my hand I am striking upon the water that is in the river, and it shall transform into blood. 17 By this you shall know that I am the Lord. Look! with the rod that is in my hand I am striking upon the water that is in the river, and it shall transform into blood.

18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall refuse to drink of the water of the river.

וְהַדָּגָ֧ה אֲשֶׁר־בַּיְאֹ֛ר תָּמ֖וּת וּבָאַ֣שׁ הַיְאֹ֑ר וְנִלְא֣וּ מִצְרַ֔יִם לִשְׁתֹּ֥ות מַ֖יִם מִן־הַיְאֹֽר׃

18 καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες οἱ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ τελευτήσουσιν,

19 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your 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.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה אֱמֹ֣ר אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֡ן קַ֣ח מַטְּךָ֣ וּנְטֵֽה־יָדְךָ֩ עַל־מֵימֵ֨י מִצְרַ֜יִם עַֽל־נַהֲרֹתָ֣ם ׀ עַל־יְאֹרֵיהֶ֣ם וְעַל־אַגְמֵיהֶ֗ם וְעַ֛ל כָּל־מִקְוֵ֥ה מֵימֵיהֶ֖ם וְיִֽהְיוּ־דָ֑ם וְהָ֤יָה דָם֙ בְּכָל־אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם וּבָעֵצִ֖ים וּבָאֲבָנִֽים׃

19 Next the Lord said to Mōysēs, “Say to Aarōn, your brother, ‛Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Aigypt and over their rivers and over their trenches and over their marshes and over all their collected water, and they shall be blood.’ ” And blood came to be in all Aigypt’s land, both in things made with wood and in things made with stone. 19 Next the Lord said to Mōysēs, “Say to Aarōn, your brother, ‛Take your rod in your hand, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Aigypt and over their rivers and over their trenches and over their marshes and over all their collected water, and they shall be blood.’ ” And blood came to be in all Aigypt’s land, both in things made with wood and in things made with 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.

וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ־כֵן֩ מֹשֶׁ֨ה וְאַהֲרֹ֜ן כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֗ה.. וַיָּ֤רֶם בַּמַּטֶּה֙ וַיַּ֤ךְ אֶת־הַמַּ֙יִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּיְאֹ֔ר לְעֵינֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה וּלְעֵינֵ֖י עֲבָדָ֑יו וַיֵּהָֽפְכ֛וּ כָּל־הַמַּ֥יִם אֲשֶׁר־בַּיְאֹ֖ר לְדָֽם׃

20 καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρών,
καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς κύριος· καὶ ἐπάρας τῇ ῥάβδῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξεν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ἐναντίον Φαραὼ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ καὶ μετέβαλεν πᾶν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ εἰς αἷμα.

20 And Mōysēs and Aarōn did so just as the Lord commanded them. Then after he lifted up with his rod, he struck the water that was in the river before Pharaō and before his attendants, and all the water in the river transformed into blood. 20 And Mōysēs and Aarōn did so just as the Lord commanded them.

21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians couldn’t drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

וְהַדָּגָ֨ה אֲשֶׁר־בַּיְאֹ֥ר מֵ֙תָה֙ וַיִּבְאַ֣שׁ הַיְאֹ֔ר וְלֹא־יָכְל֣וּ מִצְרַ֔יִם לִשְׁתֹּ֥ות מַ֖יִם מִן־הַיְאֹ֑ר וַיְהִ֥י הַדָּ֖ם בְּכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

21 καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες οἱ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ἐτελεύτησαν,

22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he listen to them; as the LORD had said.

וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ־כֵ֛ן חַרְטֻמֵּ֥י מִצְרַ֖יִם בְּלָטֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֶּחֱזַ֤ק לֵב־פַּרְעֹה֙ וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣ע אֲלֵהֶ֔ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָֽה׃

22 ἐποίησαν δὲ ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ταῖς φαρμακείαις αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐσκληρύνθη καρδία Φαραώ,

22 But also the enchanters of the Aigyptians did likewise with their magical potions. And Pharaō’s heart was inflexible, and he didn’t listen to them, just as the Lord said. 22 But also the enchanters of the Aigyptians did likewise with their magical potions.
