And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:

When Pharaoh shall speak unto you saying, Shew for yourselves a wonder, then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh let it become a sea-serpent.

So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and did so as Yahweh had commanded, - and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a sea-serpent,

Then called Pharaoh also for the wise men and for the magicians, - and they too, the sacred scribes of Egypt with their secret arts, did in like manner;

yea they cast down each man his staff, and they became sea-serpents, - but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.

Then waxed bold the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, - as spake Yahweh.
