The LORD ... answered Moses , “ See , I have made you like God to Pharaoh , and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
| LXX |
You are to speak - all that I command you , and your brother Aaron is to tell - Pharaoh to let the Israelites ... go - out of his land.
| LXX |
But I will harden - Pharaoh’s heart , and though I will multiply - My signs - and wonders in the land of Egypt ,
| LXX |
Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay - My hand on Egypt , and by mighty Acts - of judgment I will bring - the divisions - of My people the Israelites ... out of the land of Egypt.
| LXX |
And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD , when I stretch out - My hand against Egypt and bring - the Israelites ... out from among them. ”
| LXX |
So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD - had commanded them.
| LXX |
Moses was eighty years old ... and Aaron ... was eighty-three ... ... when they spoke to Pharaoh.
| LXX |
The LORD said to Moses ... and Aaron , ...
| LXX |
“ When Pharaoh tells you , ... ‘ Perform a miracle , ’ you are to say ... to Aaron , ‘ Take - your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh , ’ (and) it {will} become a serpent. ”
| LXX |
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did ... just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron - threw his staff {down} before Pharaoh ... and his officials , and it became a serpent.
| LXX |
But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt , and they also did the same things by their magic arts.
| LXX |
Each one threw down his staff , and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s - staff swallowed up (the other) staffs.
| LXX |
Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened , and he would not listen to them , just as the LORD had said.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses , “ Pharaoh’s heart (is) unyielding ; he refuses to let the people go.
| LXX |
Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him , and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.
| LXX |
Then say to him , ‘ The LORD , the God of the Hebrews - , has sent me ... to tell you : Let My people go , - so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But you have not listened until now.
| LXX |
This is what the LORD says : By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold , with the staff - in my hand I will strike the water - of the Nile , ... and it will turn to blood.
| LXX |
The fish - in the Nile will die , the river will stink , and the Egyptians will be unable to drink vvv its water. ’”
| LXX |
And the LORD said to Moses , “ Tell ... Aaron , ‘ Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt — over their rivers ... (and) canals ... and ponds and vvv vvv reservoirs — that they may become blood. ’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt , even in the vessels of wood and stone. ”
| LXX |
Moses and Aaron did ... just as the LORD had commanded ; in the presence of Pharaoh ... and his officials , (Aaron) raised the staff and struck - the water - of the Nile , and all the water - - was turned to blood.
| LXX |
The fish - in the Nile died , and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink vvv its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
| LXX |
But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened , and he would not listen to (Moses and Aaron) , just as the LORD had said.
| LXX |
Instead, Pharaoh turned around , went into his palace , and did not take any of this to heart.
| LXX |
So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink , because they could not drink the water from the river.
| LXX |
And seven full days passed after the LORD - had struck the Nile.
