20. So Moses and Aaron did as Adonai commanded. He lifted up the staff and struck the waters that were in the river in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and all the waters of the Nile turned to blood.
21. When the fish that were in the river died, the river became so foul that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22. But the magicians of Egypt did the same with their secret arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them—just as Adonai had said.
23. Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and did not even take it to heart.
24. So all the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink, because they could not drink of the water from the Nile.
25. Seven days were fulfilled after Adonai had struck the Nile.
26. Then Adonai said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him: This is what Adonai says: ‘Let My people go, so they may serve Me.
27. If you refuse to let them go, see, I will strike all your territory with frogs.
28. The river will swarm with frogs. They will go up and enter your house, into your bedroom, upon your bed, into the houses of your servants, upon your people, into your ovens, and in your kneading bowls.
29. The frogs will climb up on you, your people and all your servants.’”
