God

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

and Moses speaketh before Jehovah, saying, `Lo, the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, and how doth Pharaoh hear me, and I of uncircumcised lips?'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and chargeth them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.

This is Aaron--and Moses--to whom Jehovah said, `Bring ye out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts;'

And it cometh to pass in the day of Jehovah's speaking unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

that Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, `I am Jehovah, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking unto thee.'

And Moses saith before Jehovah, `Lo, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how doth Pharaoh hearken unto me?'

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;

thou--thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.

`And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,

and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;

and the Egyptians have known that I am Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'

And Moses doth--Aaron also--as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

And Moses goeth in--Aaron also--unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.

and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;

and thou hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.

`Thus said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I am Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which is in my hand, on the waters which are in the River, and they have been turned to blood,

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood--and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in those of stone.'

And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up his hand with the rod, and smiteth the waters which are in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which are in the River are turned to blood,

And the scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken,

And seven days are completed after Jehovah's smiting the River,

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh: and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Send My people away, and they serve Me;

and if thou art refusing to send away, lo, I am smiting all thy border with frogs;
