And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a miracle for yourselves, you shall say to Aaron, Take your staff and throw it before Pharaoh; and let it become a snake.

And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded. And Aaron threw his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants. And it became a snake.

And Pharaoh also called wise men and the sorcerers. And they, the priests of Egypt, also performed by their secret arts.

And they each one threw down his staff, and they became snakes. But Aaron's staff swallowed their staffs.

And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as Jehovah had said.
