The Lord said to Moses, “I have made you like God to the king of Egypt. And your brother Aaron will be like a prophet for you.

But I will make the king stubborn. Then I will do many miracles in Egypt. But he will still refuse to listen. So then I will punish Egypt terribly. And I will lead my divisions, my people the Israelites, out of that land.

I will punish Egypt with my power. And I will bring the Israelites out of that land. Then they will know I am the Lord.”

So the king called in his wise men and his magicians. With their tricks the Egyptian magicians were able to do the same thing. They threw their walking sticks on the ground, and their sticks became snakes. But then Aaron’s stick swallowed theirs.

This is what the Lord says: ‘This is how you will know that I am the Lord. I will strike the water of the Nile River with this stick in my hand. And the water will change into blood.

“The king will ask you to do a miracle. When he does, Moses, you tell Aaron to throw his walking stick down in front of the king. It will become a snake.” So Moses and Aaron went to the king as the Lord had commanded. Aaron threw his walking stick down in front of the king and his officers. And it became a snake.
