1Der HERR sprach zu Mose: Siehe, ich setze dich zum Gott für den Pharao, und Aaron, dein Bruder, soll dein Prophet sein. (2Mo 4,16)2Du sollst alles reden, was ich dir gebieten werde; aber Aaron, dein Bruder, soll es vor dem Pharao reden, damit er die Israeliten aus seinem Lande ziehen lasse.3Aber ich will das Herz des Pharao verhärten und viele Zeichen und Wunder tun in Ägyptenland. (2Mo 4,21)4Und der Pharao wird nicht auf euch hören. Dann werde ich meine Hand auf Ägypten legen und durch große Gerichte meine Heerscharen, mein Volk, die Israeliten, aus Ägyptenland führen.5Und die Ägypter sollen innewerden, dass ich der HERR bin, wenn ich meine Hand über Ägypten ausstrecken und die Israeliten aus ihrer Mitte wegführen werde. (2Mo 8,18; 2Mo 9,29; 2Mo 17,1; 1Sam 17,46; 1Kön 20,28; 2Kön 19,19; Hes 29,6)6Mose und Aaron taten, wie ihnen der HERR geboten hatte.7Und Mose war achtzig Jahre und Aaron dreiundachtzig Jahre alt, als sie mit dem Pharao redeten.8Und der HERR sprach zu Mose und Aaron:9Wenn der Pharao zu euch sagen wird: Weist euch aus durch ein Wunder!, so sollst du zu Aaron sagen: Nimm deinen Stab und wirf ihn hin vor dem Pharao, dass er zur Schlange werde! (2Mo 4,3)10Da gingen Mose und Aaron hinein zum Pharao und taten, wie ihnen der HERR geboten hatte. Und Aaron warf seinen Stab hin vor dem Pharao und vor seinen Großen, und er ward zur Schlange.11Da ließ der Pharao die Weisen und Zauberer rufen und die ägyptischen Zauberer taten ebenso mit ihren Künsten: (1Mo 41,8; 2Mo 8,3; 2Mo 22,1; 2Tim 3,8)12Ein jeder warf seinen Stab hin, da wurden Schlangen daraus; aber Aarons Stab verschlang ihre Stäbe.13Aber das Herz des Pharao wurde verstockt, und er hörte nicht auf sie, wie der HERR gesagt hatte. (2Mo 4,21)
Die erste Plage: Verwandlung aller Gewässer in Blut
14Und der HERR sprach zu Mose: Das Herz des Pharao ist hart; er weigert sich, das Volk ziehen zu lassen.15Geh hin zum Pharao morgen früh. Siehe, er wird ans Wasser gehen; so tritt ihm entgegen am Ufer des Nils und nimm den Stab in deine Hand, der zur Schlange wurde,16und sprich zu ihm: Der HERR, der Gott der Hebräer, hat mich zu dir gesandt und lässt dir sagen: Lass mein Volk ziehen, dass es mir diene in der Wüste. Aber du hast bisher nicht hören wollen. (2Mo 5,1)17Darum spricht der HERR: Daran sollst du erfahren, dass ich der HERR bin: Siehe, ich will mit dem Stabe, den ich in meiner Hand habe, auf das Wasser schlagen, das im Nil ist, und es soll in Blut verwandelt werden. (2Mo 4,9)18Die Fische im Strom werden sterben, und der Strom wird stinken. Und die Ägypter wird es ekeln, das Wasser aus dem Nil zu trinken.19Und der HERR sprach zu Mose: Sage Aaron: Nimm deinen Stab und recke deine Hand aus über die Wasser in Ägypten, über ihre Ströme und Kanäle und Sümpfe und über alle Wasserstellen, dass sie zu Blut werden, und es sei Blut in ganz Ägyptenland, selbst in den hölzernen und steinernen Gefäßen. (Offb 11,6)20Mose und Aaron taten, wie ihnen der HERR geboten hatte. Da hob er den Stab und schlug ins Wasser, das im Nil war, vor dem Pharao und seinen Großen. Und alles Wasser im Strom wurde in Blut verwandelt.21Und die Fische im Strom starben und der Strom wurde stinkend, sodass die Ägypter das Wasser aus dem Nil nicht trinken konnten; und es war Blut in ganz Ägyptenland.22Und die ägyptischen Zauberer taten ebenso mit ihren Künsten. So wurde das Herz des Pharao verstockt, und er hörte nicht auf Mose und Aaron, wie der HERR gesagt hatte. (2Mo 11,1)23Und der Pharao wandte sich und ging heim und nahm sich auch dies nicht zu Herzen.24Aber alle Ägypter gruben am Nil entlang nach Wasser zum Trinken, denn das Wasser aus dem Strom konnten sie nicht trinken.25Und das währte sieben Tage lang, nachdem der HERR den Strom geschlagen hatte.
Die zweite Plage: Frösche
26Da sprach der HERR zu Mose: Geh hinein zum Pharao und sage zu ihm: So spricht der HERR: Lass mein Volk ziehen, dass es mir diene! (2Mo 5,1)27Wenn du dich aber weigerst, siehe, so will ich dein ganzes Gebiet mit Fröschen plagen,28dass der Nil von Fröschen wimmeln soll. Die sollen heraufkriechen und in dein Haus kommen, in deine Schlafkammer, auf dein Bett, auch in die Häuser deiner Großen und deines Volks, in deine Backöfen und in deine Backtröge;29ja, die Frösche sollen auf dich selbst und auf dein Volk und auf alle deine Großen kriechen.
1And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. (1Mo 20,7; 2Mo 4,16; 1Sam 9,9)2You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. (2Mo 4,15; 2Mo 6,29)3But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, (2Mo 4,21; 2Mo 11,9; Ps 78,43; Ps 105,26; Ps 135,9)4Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment.5The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” (2Mo 7,17; 2Mo 8,10; 2Mo 8,22; 2Mo 14,4; 2Mo 14,18)6Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them.7Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh. (5Mo 29,5; 5Mo 31,2; 5Mo 34,7; Apg 7,23; Apg 7,30)8Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,9“When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Prove yourselves by working a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” (Jes 7,11; Joh 2,18; Joh 4,48; Joh 6,30)10So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent.11Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the magicians of Egypt, also did the same by their secret arts. (1Mo 41,8; 2Mo 7,12; 2Mo 7,22; 2Mo 8,7; 2Mo 8,18; 2Mo 9,11; 2Tim 3,8)12For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.13Still Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said. (2Mo 7,3)
The First Plague: Water Turned to Blood
14Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go.15Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water. Stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that turned into a serpent. (2Mo 4,2; 2Mo 4,3; 2Mo 4,17; 2Mo 8,20; 2Mo 9,13; 2Mo 17,5)16And you shall say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness.” But so far, you have not obeyed. (2Mo 3,12; 2Mo 3,18; 2Mo 5,1; 2Mo 5,3; 2Mo 9,1; 2Mo 9,13)17Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall turn into blood. (2Mo 4,9; 2Mo 7,5; Offb 16,4)18The fish in the Nile shall die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will grow weary of drinking water from the Nile.”’” (2Mo 7,21; 2Mo 7,24)19And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’” (2Mo 8,5; 2Mo 8,16; 2Mo 9,22; 2Mo 10,12; 2Mo 10,21; 2Mo 14,16; 2Mo 14,21; 2Mo 14,26)20Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded. In the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants he lifted up the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the water in the Nile turned into blood. (2Mo 17,9; Ps 78,44; Ps 105,29)21And the fish in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. (2Mo 7,18; 2Mo 7,24)22But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts. So Pharaoh’s heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said. (2Mo 7,3; 2Mo 7,11; 2Mo 7,13)23Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart.24And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the Nile.25Seven full days passed after the Lord had struck the Nile.

1And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.2Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.3And I will harden Pharaoh' heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.4But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.5And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.6And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.7And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.8And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,9When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.10And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.11Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.12For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron' rod swallowed up their rods.13And he hardened Pharaoh' heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.14And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh' heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.15Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river' brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.16And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.17Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.18And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.19And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.20And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.21And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.22And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh' heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.23And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.24And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.25And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
