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 commanded. And Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharao
and before his servants, and it turned to a serpent. Then Pharao
called for the wise men, and enchanters of Egypt did in like
manner with their sorcery. And 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 said. Then said the
LORD unto Moses: Pharao's heart is hardened, and he refuseth to
let the people go. Get thee unto Pharao in the morning, for he
will come unto the water, and stond {stode} thou upon the river's
brink against he come, and the rod which turned to a serpent take
in thine hand. And 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: but hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
