4. And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and will bring forth my army and my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by very great judgments.
5. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, who have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
6. And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: so did they.
7. And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharao.
8. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
9. When Pharao shall say to you, Shew signs: thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned into a serpent.
10. So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao, and his servants, and it was turned into a serpent.
11. And Pharao called the wise men and the magicians: and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets did in like manner.
