7 and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Mosheh see I_have _appointed _you a _god to_Parˊoh and_ʼAhₐron your(ms)_brother/kindred he _will _be prophet _of_your.

2 You you _will _speak DOM all _of that I_will _command _you and_ʼAhₐron your(ms)_brother/kindred he _will _speak to Parˊoh and_he _will _let _go DOM the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) from_land _of_his.

3 And_I I _will _make _stubborn DOM the _heart _of Parˊoh and_I _will _multiply DOM signs _of_my and_DOM wonders _of_my in_land of _Miʦrayim.

4 And_not he _will _listen to_you(pl) Parˊoh and_I _will _put DOM hand _of_my on_Miʦrayim and_I _will _bring _out DOM soldiers/messengers _of_my DOM people _of_my the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) from_the _land _of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) with_acts _of _judgement great.

5 And_ Miʦrayim _they _will _know if/because _that I am_YHWH when_I_stretch _out DOM hand _of_my on Miʦrayim and_I _will _bring _out DOM the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) from_among _of_them.

6 And_ Mosheh _he/it _made and_ʼAhₐron just_as YHWH he _commanded DOM_them so they _did.

7 And_Mosheh was_a _son _of eighty year[s] and_ʼAhₐron was_a _son _of three and_eighty year[s] when_spoke_they to Parˊoh.

8 and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Mosheh and_to ʼAhₐron to_say.

9 If/because he _will _say to_you(pl) Parˊoh to_say give to/for_you(pl) a _wonder and_you _will _say to ʼAhₐron take DOM staff _of_your and_throw_it to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before Parˊoh it _will _become (into)_a_serpent.

10 And_ Mosheh _he _went and_ʼAhₐron to Parˊoh and_they _did[fn] so just_as he _had _commanded YHWH and_he _threw _down ʼAhₐron DOM staff _of_his to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before Parˊoh and_before _of servants _of_his and_he/it _was (into)_a_serpent.

11 And_he/it _called also Parˊoh (to)_the_men and_to _the_sorcerers and_they _did also they the _soothsayer-priests _of Miʦrayim by_enchantments _of_their thus.

12 And_they _threw _down each _one staff _of_his and_they _were (into)_serpents and_it _swallowed _up the _staff _of ʼAhₐron DOM staffs _of_their.

13 And_ the _heart _of _it _was _strong of _Parˊoh and_not he _listened to_them just_as he _had _said YHWH.

14 and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Mosheh is_heavy the _heart _of Parˊoh he _has _refused to_let _go the_people.

15 Go to Parˊoh in_morning THERE he_is_going _out to_the_water and_you _will _stand to_meet_him on the _bank _of the _River and_the_staff which it _was _changed into_a _snake you _will _take in_hand _of_your.

16 And_you _will _say to_him/it YHWH the _god _of the _ˊIⱱrī/(Hebrews) he_has _sent _me to_you to_say let _go DOM people _of_my so_that_they _may _serve _me in_wilderness and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE not you _have _listened until thus.

17 Thus YHWH he _says by_this you _will _know if/because _that I am_YHWH HERE I am_about _to _strike with_staff which is_in_hand _of_my (on) the_waters which is_in_River and_they _will _be _changed into_blood.

18 And_the_fish which is_in_River it _will _die and_it _will _stink the_River and_they _will _be _weary Miʦrayim/(Egypt) to_drink water from the_River.

19 and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Mosheh say to ʼAhₐron take staff _of_your and_stretch _out hand _of_your over the _waters _of Miʦrayim over rivers _of_their over canals _of_their and_over pools _of_their and_over every _of (the)_collecting _place _of their _water _of_their so_that _they _may _become blood and_it _was blood in_all the _land _of Miʦrayim and_in_wood(s) and_in_stone(s).

20 And_they _did so Mosheh and_ʼAhₐron just_as YHWH he _had _commanded and_he _raised (in)_staff and_he _struck DOM the_waters which was_in_River to_the _eyes _of Parˊoh and_to_the _eyes _of his _servants _of_his and_ all _of _they _were _changed the_waters which was_in_River into_blood.

21 And_the_fish which was_in_River it _died and_it _stank the_River and_not they _were _able Miʦrayim to_drink water from the_River and_he/it _was the_blood in_all the _land _of Miʦrayim.

22 And_they _did thus the _soothsayer-priests _of Miʦrayim by_enchantments _of_their and_ the _heart _of _it _was _strong of _Parˊoh and_not he _listened to_them just_as he _had _said YHWH.

23 And_ Parˊoh _he _turned and_he _went into house _of_his and_not he _set his/its_heart also to_this.

24 And_ all _of _they _dug Miʦrayim/(Egypt) around _of the_River water for_drinking if/because not they _were _able to_drink any_of _the _water _of the _River.

25 And_it _was _completed seven _of days after struck YHWH DOM the_River.

26 [fn] and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Mosheh go to Parˊoh and_you _will _say to_him/it thus YHWH he _says let _go DOM people _of_my so_that_they _may _serve _me.

27 [fn] and_if are_refusing you to_let_them_go HERE I am_about _to _strike DOM all _of territory _of_your with_frogs.

28 [fn] and_it _will _swarm the_River frogs and_they _will _go _up and_they _will _go in_house _of_your and_in_the _chamber _of your _lying _down _of_your and_on bed _of_your and_in_the _house _of your_servants and_on_people _of_your and_in_ovens _of_your and_in_your(pl)_kneading _of_troughs.

29 [fn] and_on_you and_on_people _of_your and_on/over_all your_servants they _will _go _up the_frogs.
