2. Mosebok 7,21

EgyptNile
Judgment

19 Herren sa til Moses: «Si til Aron: ‘Ta staven din og rekk ut hånden over vannene i Egypt—over deres elver, bekker, dammer og alle deres reservoarer—og de skal bli til blod. Det skal være blod over hele Egypt, selv i kar av tre og stein.’»

20 Moses og Aron gjorde akkurat som Herren hadde befalt. Han løftet staven og slo vannet i Nilen foran farao og hans tjenestemenn, og alt vannet i Nilen ble til blod.

Fisken i Nilen døde, og elven stinket slik at egypterne ikke kunne drikke vannet fra Nilen. Det var blod overalt i Egypt.

22 Men de egyptiske magikerne gjorde det samme med sine hemmelige kunster, og faraos hjerte ble forherdet; han lyttet ikke til Moses og Aron, akkurat som Herren hadde sagt.

23 Farao vendte seg og gikk inn i sitt palass, og tok ikke engang dette til hjerte.
