Exodus 7:9-13

Exodus 7:9-13

[9] When 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.  [10] And 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.  [11] Then Pharaoh  also called  the wise men  and the sorcerers:  now the magicians  of Egypt,  they also did  in like manner  with their enchantments.  [12] For they cast down  every man  his rod,  and they became serpents:  but Aaron's  rod  swallowed up  their rods.  [13] And he hardened  Pharaoh's  heart,  that he hearkened  not unto them; as the LORD  had said.
