【出7:8】 耶和华晓谕摩西,亚伦说,
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
【出7:9】 法老若对你们说,你们行件奇事吧。你就吩咐亚伦说,把杖丢在法老面前,使杖变作蛇。
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
【出7:10】 摩西,亚伦进去见法老,就照耶和华所吩咐的行。亚伦把杖丢在法老和臣仆面前,杖就变作蛇。
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
【出7:11】 于是法老召了博士和术士来,他们是埃及行法术的,也用邪术照样而行。
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
【出7:12】 他们各人丢下自己的杖,杖就变作蛇,但亚伦的杖吞了他们的杖。
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
【出7:13】 法老心里刚硬,不肯听从摩西,亚伦,正如耶和华所说的。
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
