1 Da sagde HE EN til Moses: "Se, jeg gør dig til Gud for Farao, men din Broder Aron skal være din Profet.

2 Du skal sige til ham alt, hvad jeg pålægger dig, men din Broder Aron skal sige det til Farao, for at han skal lade Israeliterne rejse ud af sit Land.

3 Men jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte og derefter gøre mange Tegn og Undere i Ægypten.

4 Farao skal ikke høre på eder, men jeg vil lægge min Hånd på Ægypten og føre mine Hærskarer, mit Folk Israeliterne, ud af Ægypten med vældige Straffedomme;

5 og når jeg udrækker min Hånd mod Ægypten og fører Israeliterne ud derfra, skal Ægypterne kende, at jeg er HE EN."

6 Da gjorde Moses og Aron, som HE EN pålagde dem.

7 Moses var firsindstyve og Aron tre og firsindstyve År gammel, da de talte til Farao.

8 Og HE EN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

9 "Når Farao kræver et Under af eder, sig så til Aron: Tag din Stav og kast den ned foran Farao, så skal den blive til en Slange!"

10 Da gik Moses og Aron til Farao og gjorde, som HE EN bød; og da Aron kastede sin Stav foran Farao og hans Tjenere, blev den til en Slange.

11 Men Farao lod som Modtræk Vismændene og Besværgerne kalde, og de, Ægyptens Koglere, gjorde også det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster;

12 de kastede hver sin Stav, og Stavene blev til Slanger, men Arons Stav opslugte deres Stave.

13 Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, og han hørte ikke på dem, således som HE EN havde sagt.

14 HE EN sagde nu til Moses: "Faraos Hjerte er forstokket, han vægrer sig ved at lade Folket rejse.

15 Gå derfor i Morgen tidlig til Farao, når han begiver sig ned til Vandet, og træd frem for ham ved Nilens Bred og tag Staven, der forvandledes til en Slange, i Hånden

16 og sig til ham: HE EN, Hebræernes Gud, sendte mig til dig med det Bud: Lad mit Folk rejse, at det kan dyrke mig i Ørkenen! Men hidtil har du ikke adlydt.

17 siger HE EN: Deraf skal du kende, at jeg er HE EN: Se, jeg slår Vandet i Nilen med Staven, som jeg holder i min Hånd, og det skal forvandles til Blod,

18 Fiskene i Nilen skal , og Nilen skal stinke, og Ægypterne skal væmmes ved at drikke Vand fra Nilen."

19 Og HE EN sagde til Moses: "Sig til Aron: Tag din Stav og ræk din Hånd ud over Ægypternes Vande, deres Floder, Kanaler, Damme og alle Vandsamlinger, så skal Vandet blive til Blod, og der skal være Blod i hele Ægypten, både i Trækar og Stenkar."

20 Og Moses og Aron gjorde, som HE EN bød; Moses løftede Staven og slog Vandet i Nilen for Øjnene af Farao og hans Tjenere, og alt Vandet i Nilen forvandledes til Blod;

21 Fiskene i Nilen døde, og Nilen stank, så Ægypterne ikke kunde drikke Vand fra Nilen, og der var Blod i hele Ægypten.

22 Men de Ægyptiske Koglere gjorde det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster, og Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HE EN havde sagt.

23 Da vendte Farao sig bort og gik hjem, og heller ikke dette lagde han sig på Sinde.

24 Men alle Ægypterne gravede i Omegnen af Nilen efter Drikkevand, thi de kunde ikke drikke Nilvandet.

25 Og således gik der syv Dage, efter at HE EN havde slået Nilen.

7303. Verses 14-24 And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is inflexible; he refuses to send the people away. 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. 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. 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. And the fish that are in the river will die, and the river will stink; and the Egyptians will find it difficult 1 to drink water from the river. 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. 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. 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. And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments; and Pharaoh's heart was unyielding, and he did not hear 2 them, as Jehovah had spoken. And Pharaoh looked back and went to his house, and he did not take even this to heart. 3 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink from the waters of the river.

'And Jehovah said to Moses' means Divine instruction. 'Pharaoh's heart is inflexible; he refuses to send the people away' means that they were obstinately determined not to leave those whom they were molesting. 'Go to Pharaoh in the morning' means being raised to stronger proofs. 'Behold, he goes out to the water' means that at this time those who molested were steeped in falsities resulting from illusions. 'And you are to stand so as to meet him beside the bank of the river' means an influx in keeping with the state. 'And the rod which was turned into a serpent, take in your hand' means the same power as before. 'And you shall say to him' means a command. 'Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying' means coming from the Deity of the Church to those who were molesting. 'Send My people away' means that they are to leave them. 'And let them serve Me in the wilderness' means worship in obscurity. 'And behold, you have not heard up to now' means disobedience. 'And Jehovah said, In this you will know that I am Jehovah' means in order that they may have a fear of the Divine. 'Behold, I strike with the rod which is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river' means power over falsities which are the result of illusions. 'And they will be turned into blood' means that they will falsify truths. 'And the fish that are in the river will die' means that factual knowledge of truth will be destroyed. 'And the river will stink' means an aversion to it. 'And the Egyptians will find it difficult to drink water from the river' means so that they would wish to know as little as possible about it. 'And Jehovah said to Moses' means putting it into effect. 'Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt' means power directed against the falsities residing with the molesters. 'Over their rivers, over their streams' means against teachings [that consist of falsity]. 'And over their pools' means against the factual knowledge subservient to them. 'And over every gathering of their waters' means where any falsity exists. 'And they will be blood' means that they will falsify truths. 'And there will be blood in all the land of Egypt' means total falsification. 'Both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone' means of the good of charity and of the truth of faith. 'And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded' means putting it into effect. 'And he lifted up the rod and struck the waters which were in the river' means strong power directed against falsities. 'Before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants' means to the discernment of all those who were molesting. 'And all the waters which were in the river were converted into blood' means consequent falsification of all truth. 'And the fish which were in the river died' means the destruction of factual knowledge of truth too. 'And the river stank' means aversion. 'And the Egyptians were unable to drink water from the river' means that they wished to know as little as possible about it. 'And there was blood in the entire land of Egypt' means total falsification. 'And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments' means that by a misuse of order the falsifiers among them produced something that looked the same. 'And Pharaoh's heart was unyielding' means obstinacy. 'And he did not hear them' means non-acceptance and disobedience. 'As Jehovah had spoken' means as accorded with what had been foretold. 'And Pharaoh looked back and went to his house' means thought and reflection based on falsities. 'And he did not take this to heart' means resistance arising in the will and consequent obstinacy. 'And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink' means searching out truth which they could apply to falsities. 'For they could not drink from the waters of the river' means non-application through the use of utter falsities.
