Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh
1
And the Lord said to Moses, "See, I have made you like o God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your p prophet.
2
q You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land.
3
But r I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I s multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4
Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment.
5
The Egyptians t shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them."
6
Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them.
7
Now Moses was u eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8
Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
9
"When Pharaoh says to you, v 'Prove yourselves by working a miracle,' then you shall say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.'"
10
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent.
11
Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the w magicians of Egypt, also x did the same by their secret arts.
12
For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.
13
Still r Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, r as the Lord had said.
