Misael, Elzaphan and Sithri. And Aaron took Elizaba daughter of
Aminadab and sister of Nahason, to wife: which bare him Nadab, Abehu,
Eleazar and Ithamar. The children of Korah: Assir, Elkana and
Abiassaph: these are the kindreds of the Korahites. And Eleazar Aaron's
son took him one of the daughters of Putuel to wife: which bare him
Pinehas: these be the principal fathers of the Levites in their
kindreds. These are that Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said: carry
the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with their armies.
These are that Moses and Aaron which spake to Pharao king of Egypt,
that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. And in the
day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, he spake unto
him saying, I am the LORD, see that thou speak unto Pharao the king of
Egypt all that I say unto thee. And Moses answered before the LORD: I
am of uncircumcised lips, how shall Pharao then give me audience?
Chapter .vij.
And the LORD said unto Moses: behold, I have made thee Pharao's God,
and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. Thou shalt speak all that I
command thee and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharao: that he
send the children of Israel out of his land. But I will harden Pharao's
heart, that I may multiply my miracles and my wonders in the land of

them. Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. And Moses was
eighty years old and Aaron eighty three when they spake unto Pharao.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron saying: when Pharao speaketh
unto you and sayeth: shew a wonder, then shalt thou say unto Aaron,
take the rod and cast it before Pharao, and it shall turn to a serpent.
Then went Moses and Aaron in unto Pharao, and did even as the LORD had

they cast down every man his rod, and they turned to serpents: but
Aaron's rod ate up their rods: and yet for all that Pharao's heart was
hardened, so that he hearkened not unto them, even as the LORD had
