Chap. VII.
Moyses being constituted as God of Pharao, and Aaron as the prophet of
Moyses, they declare Gods commandment to Pharao; 10. turne the rodde
into a serpent; 17. & the water into bloud, which is the first plague. 22.
The magicians doe the like by inchantments, and Pharaos hart is indurate.
1 And our Lord said to Moyses: Behold I haue appointed
thee09Q0125 the God of Pharao: and Aaron thy brother
shal be note thy prophet.
2 Thou shalt speake to him al thinges
that I command thee: and he shal speake to Pharao, that he
dismisse the children of Israel out of his land.
3 But09Q0126 I wil
indurate his hart, and wil multiplie my signes and wonders
in the Land of Ægypt,
4 and he wil not heare you: and I wil
put in my hand vpon Ægypt, and wil bring forth my armie
and people the children of Israel out of the Land of Ægypt,
by very great iudgements.
5 And the Ægyptians shal know
that I am the Lord, which haue stretched forth my hand
vpon Ægypt, and haue brought forth the children of Israel
out of the middes of them
6 Therfore Moyses and Aaron
did as our Lord had commanded: so did they.
7 And Moyses
was eightie yeares old, and Aaron eightie three, when they
spake to Pharao.
8 And our Lord said to Moyses and Aaron:
9 When Pharao shal say vnto you, Shew signes: thou shalt
say to Aaron: Take thy rodde, and cast it before Pharao,
and it shal be turned into a serpent.
10 Therfore Moyses and
Aaron going in vnto Pharao, did as our Lord had commanded.
And Aaron tooke the rodde before Pharao and his seruantes,
the which was turned into a serpent.
11 And Pharao
called note the wise men and the enchanters: and09Q0127 they also by
Ægyptian enchantments and certaine secrecies did in like
maner.
12 And euery one did cast forth their roddes, the
which were turned into dragons: but Aarons rodde deuoured
their roddes.
13 And Pharaos hart was indurate, and he heard
them not, as our Lord had commanded.
14 And our Lord
said to Moyses: Pharaoes hart is aggrauated, he wil not dismisse
the people.
15 Goe to him in the morning, behold he
wil goe forth to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meete
him vpon the banke of the riuer: and the rodde that was
-- --
Plagues of Ægypt.
turned into a dragon, thou shalt take in thy hand.
16 And
thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrewes sent
me to thee, saying: Dismisse my people to sacrifice vnto me in
the desert: and vntil this present note thou wouldest not heare.
17 This therfore saith our Lord: In this thou shalt know that
I am the Lord: behold I wil strike with the rodde, that is in
my hand, the water of the riuer, and it shal be turned into
bloud.
18 The fishes also, that are in the riuer, shal dye, and
the waters shal putrifie, and the Ægyptians shal be afflicted
drinking the water of the riuer.
19 Our Lord also said to
Moyses: Say vnto Aaron, Take thy rodde, and stretch forth
thy hand vpon the waters of Ægypt, and vpon their floudes,
and riuers and pooles, and al the lakes of waters, that they
may be turned into bloud: and be there bloud in al the Land
of Ægypt, as wel in the vessels of wood as of stone.
20 And
Moyses and Aaron did as our Lord had commanded: and lifting
vp the rodde he stroke the water of the riuer before
Pharao and his seruantes: note which was turned into bloud.
21 And the fishes, that were in the riuer, died: and the riuer,
putrified, and the Ægyptians could not drincke the water of
the riuer, and there was bloud in the whole Land of Ægypt.
22 And the enchaunters of the Ægyptians with their enchantments
did in like maner: and Pharaoes hart was indurate,
neither did he heare them, as our Lord had commaunded.
23 And he turned away him selfe, and went into his house,
neither did he yet set his hart to it this time also.
24 And al
the Ægyptians digged round about the riuer for water to
drinke: for they could not drinke of the water of the riuer.
25 And seuen dayes were fully ended, after that our Lord
stroke the riuer.
