2 Mose 7

Lernen

   

1 Der HERR sprach zu Mose: Siehe, ich habe dich einen Gott gesetzt über Pharao; und Aaron, dein Bruder, soll dein Prophet sein.

2 Du sollst reden alles, was ich dir gebieten werde; aber Aaron, dein Bruder, soll es vor Pharao reden, daß er die Kinder Israel aus seinem Lande lasse.

3 Aber ich will Pharaos Herz verhärten, daß ich meiner Zeichen und Wunder viel tue in Ägyptenland.

4 Und Pharao wird euch nicht hören, auf daß ich meine Hand in Ägypten beweise und führe mein Heer, mein Volk, die Kinder Israel, aus Ägyptenland durch große Gerichte.

5 Und die Ägypter sollen's inne werden, daß ich der HERR bin, wenn ich nun meine Hand ausstrecke über Ägypten und die Kinder Israel von ihnen wegführen werde.

6 Mose und Aaron taten, wie ihnen der HERR geboten hatte.

7 Und Mose war achtzig Jahre alt und Aaron dreiundachtzig Jahre alt, da sie mit Pharao redeten.

8 Und der HERR sprach zu Mose und Aaron:

9 Wenn Pharao zu euch sagen wird: Beweiset eure Wunder, so sollst du zu Aaron sagen: Nimm deinen Stab und wirf ihn vor Pharao, daß er zur Schlange werde.

10 Da gingen Mose und Aaron hinein zu Pharao und taten wie ihnen der HERR geboten hatte. Und Aaron warf seinen Stab vor Pharao und vor seinen Knechten; und er ward zur Schlange.

11 Da forderte Pharao die Weisen und Zauberer. Und die ägyptischen Zauberer taten auch also mit ihrem Beschwören.

12 Ein jeglicher warf seinen Stab von sich, da wurden Schlangen draus; aber Aarons Stab verschlang ihre Stäbe.

13 Also ward das Herz Pharaos verstockt und hörete sie nicht, wie denn der HERR geredet hatte.

14 Und der HERR sprach zu Mose: Das Herz Pharaos ist hart; er weigert sich, das Volk zu lassen.

15 Gehe hin zu Pharao morgen. Siehe, er wird ans Wasser gehen; so tritt gegen ihm an das Ufer des Wassers und nimm den Stab in deine Hand, der zur Schlange ward,

16 und sprich zu ihm: Der HERR, der Ebräer Gott, hat mich zu dir gesandt und lassen sagen: Laß mein Volk, daß mir's diene in der Wüste! Aber du hast bisher nicht wollen hören.

17 Darum spricht der HERR also: Daran sollst du erfahren, daß ich der HERR bin. Siehe, ich will mit dem Stabe, den ich in meiner Hand habe, das Wasser schlagen, das in dem Strom ist, und es soll in Blut verwandelt werden,

18 daß die Fische im Strom sterben sollen und der Strom stinken, und den Ägyptern wird ekeln, zu trinken des Wassers aus dem Strom.

19 Und der HERR sprach zu Mose: Sage Aaron: Nimm deinen Stab und recke deine Hand aus über die Wasser in Ägypten, über ihre Bäche und Ströme und Seen und über alle Wassersümpfe, daß sie Blut werden, und sei Blut in ganz Ägyptenland, beide in hölzernen und steinernen Gefäßen.

20 Mose und Aaron taten, wie ihnen der HERR geboten hatte, und hub den Stab auf und schlug ins Wasser, das im Strom war, vor Pharao und seinen Knechten. Und alles Wasser im Strom ward in Blut verwandelt.

21 Und die Fische im Strom starben, und der Strom ward stinkend, daß die Ägypter nicht trinken konnten des Wassers aus dem Strom; und ward Blut in ganz Ägyptenland.

22 Und die ägyptischen Zauberer taten auch also mit ihrem Beschwören. Also ward das Herz Pharaos verstockt und hörete sie nicht, wie denn der HERR geredet hatte.

23 Und Pharao wandte sich und ging heim und nahm's nicht zu Herzen.

24 Aber alle Ägypter gruben nach Wasser um den Strom her, zu trinken; denn des Wassers aus dem Strom konnten sie nicht trinken.

25 Und das währete sieben Tage lang, daß der HERR den Strom schlug.

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.

Exodus 6

Lernen

   

1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land."

2 God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Yahweh;

3 and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.

4 I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.

5 Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

6 Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

7 and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.'"

9 Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn't listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

11 "Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel Go out of his land."

12 Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, "Behold, the children of Israel haven't listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"

13 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses. The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben.

15 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon.

16 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were one hundred thirty-seven years.

17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families.

18 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred thirty-three years.

19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.

20 Amram took Jochebed his father's sister to himself as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty-seven years.

21 The sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.

22 The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.

23 Aaron took Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, as his wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

24 The sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.

25 Eleazar Aaron's son took one of the daughters of Putiel as his wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites according to their families.

26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom Yahweh said, "Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies."

27 These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.

28 It happened on the day when Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 that Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, "I am Yahweh. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I Speak to you."

30 Moses said before Yahweh, "Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?"
