6. And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.
7. And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8. And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9. When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, --then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast it before Pharaoh--it will become a serpent.
10. And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.
11. And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:
12. they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
13. And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
