3`And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
4and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
5and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.`
6And Moses doth -- Aaron also -- as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;
7and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.
8And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9`When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh -- it becometh a monster.`
