shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. 007:003 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 007:004 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. 007:005 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them." 007:006 Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did. 007:007 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh. 007:008 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 007:009 "When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, 'Perform a miracle!' then you shall tell Aaron, 'Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'" 007:010 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 007:011 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers.
