2 Mosebok 7

Studie

   

1 Da sa Herren til Moses: Se, jeg har satt dig til en Gud for Farao, og Aron, din bror, skal være din profet.

2 Du skal tale alt det jeg byder dig; men Aron, din bror, skal tale til Farao, og han skal la Israels barn fare ut av sitt land.

3 Men jeg vil forherde Faraos hjerte, og jeg vil gjøre mange tegn og under i Egyptens land.

4 Farao skal ikke høre på eder; men jeg vil legge min hånd på Egypten og føre mine hærer, mitt folk, Israels barn, ut av Egyptens land ved store straffedommer.

5 Og egypterne skal kjenne at jeg er Herren, når jeg rekker ut min hånd over Egypten og fører Israels barn ut fra dem.

6 Og Moses og Aron gjorde dette; som Herren hadde pålagt dem, således gjorde de.

7 Moses var åtti år gammel, og Aron tre og åtti år, da de talte til Farao.

8 Og Herren sa til Moses og Aron:

9 Når Farao taler til eder og sier: La mig få se et under av eder, da skal du si til Aron: Ta din stav og kast den ned foran Farao! Og den skal bli til en slange.

10 Så gikk Moses og Aron inn til Farao og gjorde som Herren hadde sagt; Aron kastet sin stav ned foran Farao og hans tjenere, og den blev til en slange.

11 Da lot Farao sine vismenn og trollmenn kalle, og de, Egyptens tegnsutleggere, gjorde det samme med sine hemmelige kunster;

12 de kastet hver sin stav, og de blev til slanger; men Arons stav slukte deres staver.

13 Men Faraos hjerte blev forherdet, og han hørte ikke på dem, således som Herren hadde sagt.

14 Da sa Herren til Moses: Faraos hjerte er hårdt; han vil ikke la folket fare.

15 Gå til Farao imorgen tidlig når han går ned til elven, og still dig i hans vei på elvebredden, og staven som blev skapt om til en slange, skal du ta i hånden.

16 Og du skal si til ham: Herren, hebreernes Gud, har sendt mig til dig og sier: La mitt folk fare, så de kan tjene mig i ørkenen! Men du har like til nu ikke villet lyde.

17 Sa sier Herren: På dette skal du kjenne at jeg er Herren: Se, nu slår jeg med denne stav som jeg har i min hånd, på vannet i elven, og det skal bli til blod,

18 og fiskene i elven skal , og elven skal lukte ille, så egypterne skal vemmes ved å drikke vannet.

19 Og Herren sa til Moses: Si til Aron: Ta din stav og rekk ut din hånd over egypternes vann, over deres elver, over deres kanaler og over deres sjøer og over alle deres dammer, og de skal bli til blod, og det skal være blod i hele Egyptens land, både i trekar og i stenkar.

20 Og Moses og Aron gjorde som Herren hadde sagt; han løftet staven og slo på vannet i elven så de så på det, både Farao og hans tjenere; da blev alt vannet i elven til blod,

21 og fiskene i elven døde, og elven luktet ille, så egypterne ikke kunde drikke vannet, og det var blod i hele Egyptens land.

22 Men Egyptens tegnsutleggere gjorde det samme med sine hemmelige kunster, og Faraos hjerte blev forherdet, og han hørte ikke på dem, således som Herren hadde sagt.

23 Og Farao vendte sig om og gikk hjem til sitt hus og la heller ikke dette på hjerte.

24 Men alle egypterne gravde rundt omkring elven efter drikkevann; for de kunde ikke drikke elvevannet.

25 Så gikk det syv dager efterat Herren hadde slått elven.

7264. Exodus 7

1. And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.

2. You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, to 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. And Pharaoh will not hear 1 you; and I will lay My hand on the Egyptians, and will lead My armies, My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt with great judgements.

5. And the Egyptians will know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch out My hand over the Egyptians; and I will lead the children of Israel out of the midst of them.

6. And Moses and Aaron did so; as Jehovah had commanded them, so they did.

7. And Moses was a son of eighty years, and Aaron a son of eighty-three years, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

8. And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron - He said,

9. When Pharaoh says to you - when he says, Perform a wonder; 2 you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod and throw it down in front of Pharaoh. It will then be a water-serpent.

10. And Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron threw down his rod in front of Pharaoh, and in front of his servants, and it was made into a water-serpent.

11. And Pharaoh also called the wise men and sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did so with their enchantments.

12. And they threw down each one his rod, and they were made into water-serpents; and Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

13. And Pharaoh's heart was unyielding, and he did not hear 1 them, as Jehovah had spoken.

14. And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is inflexible; he refuses to send the people away.

15. Go to Pharaoh in the morning; behold, he goes out to the water. And you are to stand so as to meet him beside the bank of the river; and the rod which was turned into a serpent, take in your hand.

16. And you shall say to him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Send My people away, and let them serve Me in the wilderness; and behold, you have not heard up to now.

17. Thus said Jehovah, In this you will know that I am Jehovah - behold, I strike with the rod which is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they will be turned into blood.

18. And the fish that are in the river will die, and the river will stink; and the Egyptians will find it difficult 3 to drink water from the river.

19. And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over every gathering of their waters, and they will be blood; and there will be blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

20. And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the rod and struck the waters which were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants. And all the waters which were in the river were converted into blood.

21. And the fish which were in the river died, and the river stank, and the Egyptians were unable to drink water from the river; and there was blood in the entire land of Egypt.

22. And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments; and Pharaoh's heart was unyielding, and he did not hear 1 them, as Jehovah had spoken.

23. And Pharaoh looked back and went to his house, and he did not take even this to heart. 4

24. And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink from the waters of the river.

25. And seven days were fulfilled after Jehovah struck the river. 5

26. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and you shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah, Send My people away, and let them serve Me.

27. And if you refuse to send them away, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs.

28. And the river will cause the frogs to crawl forth, and they will rise up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and onto your bed, and into the house of your servants, and onto your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.

29. And onto you, and onto your people, and onto all your servants the frogs will rise up.
