Exodus 7:20-25
7:20 Moses and Aaron did so,
just as the
Lord had commanded. Moses raised
the staff
and struck the water that was in the Nile right before the eyes
of Pharaoh and his servants,
and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.
7:21 When the fish
that were in the Nile died, the Nile began
to stink, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood
everywhere in the land of Egypt!
7:22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same
by their secret arts, and so
Pharaoh’s heart remained hard,
and he refused to listen to Moses and Aaron
– just as the
Lord had predicted.
7:23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. He did not pay any attention to this.
7:24 All the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink,
because they could not drink the water of the Nile.
The Second Blow: Frogs
7:25 Seven full days passed after the Lord struck the Nile.
