02:007:005 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
02:007:006 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
02:007:007 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
02:007:008 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
02:007:009 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
02:007:010 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
02:007:011 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
02:007:012 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
02:007:013 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
02:007:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
