Exodus · Chapter 6
Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
And Elohim spake unto Mosheh, and said unto him, I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
And I appeared unto Avraham, unto Yitschaq, and unto Ya'aqov, by
the name of Elohim Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
And I have also established my b'rit with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Yisra'el, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my b'rit.
Wherefore say unto the children of Yisra'el, I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a Elohim: and ye shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Avraham, to Yitschaq, and to Ya'aqov; and I will give it you for an heritage: I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Mosheh spake so unto the children of Yisra'el: but they hearkened not unto Mosheh for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, that he let the children of Yisra'el go out of his land.
And Mosheh spake before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), saying, Behold, the children of Yisra'el have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who
am
of uncircumcised lips?
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh and unto Aharon, and gave them a charge unto the children of Yisra'el, and unto Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, to bring the children of Yisra'el out of the land of Mitsrayim.
These
be the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Yisra'el; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these
be the families of Reuben.
And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these
are the families of Simeon.
And these
are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi
were an hundred thirty and seven years.
The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Chevron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath
were an hundred thirty and three years.
And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these
are the families of Levi according to their generations.
And Amram took him Jochebed his father’s sister to wife; and she bare him Aharon and Mosheh: and the years of the life of Amram
were an hundred and thirty and seven years.
And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
And Aharon took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these
are the families of the Korhites.
And Eleazar Aharon’s son took him
one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these
are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
These
are that Aharon and Mosheh, to whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said, Bring out the children of Yisra'el from the land of Mitsrayim according to their armies.
These
are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, to bring out the children of Yisra'el from Mitsrayim: these
are that Mosheh and Aharon.
And it came to pass on the day
when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh in the land of Mitsrayim,
That 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying, I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim all that I say unto thee.
And Mosheh said before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Behold, I
am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

Exodus · Chapter 7
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, See, I have made thee a elohim to Pharaoh: and Aharon thy brother shall be thy navi.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aharon thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Yisra'el out of his land.
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Mitsrayim, and bring forth mine armies,
and my people the children of Yisra'el, out of the land of Mitsrayim by great judgments.
And the Egyptians shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), when I stretch forth mine hand upon Mitsrayim, and bring out the children of Yisra'el from among them.
And Mosheh and Aharon did as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) commanded them, so did they.
And Mosheh
was fourscore years old, and Aharon fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh and unto Aharon, saying,
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aharon, Take thy rod, and cast
it before Pharaoh,
and it shall become a serpent.
And Mosheh and Aharon went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had commanded: and Aharon cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Mitsrayim, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aharon’s rod swallowed up their rods.
And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had said.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Pharaoh’s heart
is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
And thou shalt say unto him, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), In this thou shalt know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): behold, I will smite with the rod that
is in mine hand upon the waters which
are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
And the fish that
is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, Say unto Aharon, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Mitsrayim, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and
that there may be blood throughout all the land of Mitsrayim, both in
vessels of wood, and in
vessels of stone.
And Mosheh and Aharon did so, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that
were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that
were
in the river were turned to blood.
And the fish that
was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
And the magicians of Mitsrayim did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had said.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had smitten the river.

Exodus · Chapter 8
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Let my people go, that they may serve me.
And if thou refuse to let
them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, Say unto Aharon, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Mitsrayim.
And Aharon stretched out his hand over the waters of Mitsrayim; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Mitsrayim.
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Mitsrayim.
Then Pharaoh called for Mosheh and Aharon, and said, Intreat 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Mosheh said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses,
that they may remain in the river only?
And he said, To morrow. And he said,
Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that
there is none like unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim.
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
And Mosheh and Aharon went out from Pharaoh: and Mosheh cried unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did according to the word of Mosheh; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had said.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Say unto Aharon, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
And they did so; for Aharon stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This
is the finger of Elohim: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had said.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms
of flies, and also the ground whereon they
are.
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms
of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) in the midst of the earth.
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did so; and there came a grievous swarm
of flies
into the house of Pharaoh, and
into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Mitsrayim: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm
of flies.
And Pharaoh called for Mosheh and for Aharon, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your Elohim in the land.
And Mosheh said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim, as he shall command us.
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
And Mosheh said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that the swarms
of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Mosheh went out from Pharaoh, and intreated 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did according to the word of Mosheh; and he removed the swarms
of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
