1 Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Zie, Ik heb u tot een god gezet over Farao; en Aaron, uw broeder, zal uw profeet zijn.

2 Gij zult spreken alles, wat Ik u gebieden zal; en Aaron, uw broeder, zal tot Farao spreken, dat hij de kinderen Israels uit zijn land trekken laat.

3 Doch Ik zal Farao's hart verharden; en Ik zal Mijn tekenen en Mijn wonderheden in Egypteland vermenigvuldigen.

4 Farao nu zal naar ulieden niet horen, en Ik zal Mijn hand aan Egypte leggen, en voeren Mijn heiren, Mijn volk, de kinderen Israels, uit Egypteland, door grote gerichten.

5 Dan zullen de Egyptenaars weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, wanneer Ik Mijn hand over Egypte uitstrekke, en de kinderen Israels uit het midden van hen uitleide.

6 Toen deed Mozes en Aaron, als hun de HEERE geboden had, alzo deden zij.

7 En Mozes was tachtig jaar oud, en Aaron was drie en tachtig jaar oud, toen zij tot Farao spraken.

8 En de HEERE sprak tot Mozes en tot Aaron, zeggende:

9 Wanneer Farao tot ulieden spreken zal, zeggende: Doet een wonderteken voor ulieden; zo zult gij tot Aaron zeggen: Neem uw staf, en werp hem voor Farao's aangezicht neder; hij zal tot een draak worden.

10 Toen ging Mozes en Aaron tot Farao henen in, en deden alzo, gelijk de HEERE geboden had; en Aaron wierp zijn staf neder voor Farao's aangezicht, en voor het aangezicht zijner knechten; en hij werd tot een draak.

11 Farao nu riep ook de wijzen en de guichelaars; en de Egyptische tovenaars deden ook alzo met hun bezweringen.

12 Want een ieder wierp zijn staf neder, en zij werden tot draken; maar Aarons staf verslond hun staven.

13 Doch Farao's hart verstokte, zodat hij naar hen niet hoorde, gelijk de HEERE gesproken had.

14 Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Farao's hart is zwaar; hij weigert het volk te laten trekken.

15 Ga heen tot Farao in den morgenstond; zie, hij zal uitgaan naar het water toe, zo stel u tegen hem over aan den oever der rivier, en den staf, die in een slang is veranderd geweest, zult gij in uw hand nemen.

16 En gij zult tot hem zeggen: de HEERE, de God der Hebreen, heeft mij tot u gezonden, zeggende: Laat Mijn volk trekken, dat het Mij diene in de woestijn; doch zie, gij hebt tot nu toe niet gehoord.

17 Zo zegt de HEERE: Daaraan zult gij weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben; zie, ik zal met dezen staf, die in mijn hand is, op het water, dat in deze rivier is, slaan, en het zal in bloed veranderd worden.

18 En de vis in de rivier zal sterven, zodat de rivier zal stinken; en de Egyptenaars zullen vermoeid worden, dat zij het water uit de rivier drinken mogen.

19 Verder zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: zeg tot Aaron: Neem uw staf, en steek uw hand uit over de wateren der Egyptenaren, over hun stromen, over hun rivieren, en over hun poelen, en over alle vergadering hunner wateren, dat zij bloed worden; en er zij bloed in het ganse Egypteland, beide in houten en in stenen vaten.

20 Mozes nu en Aaron deden alzo, gelijk de HEERE geboden had; en hij hief den staf op, en sloeg het water, dat in de rivier was, voor de ogen van Farao, en voor de ogen van zijn knechten; en al het water in de rivier werd in bloed veranderd.

21 En de vis, die in de rivier was, stierf; en de rivier stonk, zodat de Egyptenaars het water uit de rivier niet drinken konden; en er was bloed in het ganse Egypteland.

22 Doch de Egyptische tovenaars deden ook alzo met hun bezweringen; zodat Farao's hart verstokte, en hij hoorde naar hen niet, gelijk als de HEERE gesproken had.

23 En Farao keerde zich om, en ging naar zijn huis; en hij zette zijn hart daar ook niet op.

24 Doch alle Egyptenaars groeven rondom de rivier, om water te drinken; want zij konden van het water der rivier niet drinken.

25 Alzo werden zeven dagen vervuld, nadat de HEERE de rivier geslagen had.

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.
