5. “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I stretch out My hand on Mitsrayim. And I shall bring the children of Yisra’ĕl out from among them.”
6. And Mosheh and Aharon did as יהוה commanded them, so they did.
7. Now Mosheh was eighty years old and Aharon eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,
9. “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod and throw it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ”
10. So Mosheh and Aharon went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as יהוה commanded. And Aharon threw his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
