Read the Story

God said, Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. God said he would multiply his signs and wonders, and the Egyptians would know that he is Yahweh. Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three. Moses and Aaron did as Yahweh commanded.

Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and it became a serpent. Pharaoh's wise men and magicians did the same with their secret arts. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. Yet Pharaoh's heart was hardened.

In the morning Moses met Pharaoh at the river. Aaron stretched out the rod and struck the water, and all the water turned to blood. The fish died, the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink from it. The magicians did the same with their secret arts, so Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he didn't take it to heart. The Egyptians dug around the river for water. Seven days passed.

Memory Verse

The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
