Exodus 7

Exodus 7 begins the open contest between the LORD’s word and Pharaoh’s hardened resistance. God tells Moses that Aaron will speak for him before Pharaoh and that Egypt will know the LORD when judgments fall. Aaron’s rod becomes a serpent, and Pharaoh’s magicians imitate the sign, but Aaron’s rod swallows theirs. Pharaoh’s heart remains hardened. The first plague follows: the Nile and waters of Egypt turn to blood, fish die, the river stinks, and drinking water becomes scarce. Egyptian magicians reproduce a similar sign, and Pharaoh refuses to heed Moses and Aaron.
