Scene 1 · Intermediate
A warning at the river
English
God told Moses to meet Pharaoh by the riverbank the next morning, when the king went down to the water.
English
Moses was to carry the staff that had turned into a snake and deliver this message: “The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to tell you to let his people go, so they can serve him in the wilderness. Until now, you haven’t listened.
English
God says that this will show you who he is: the river will be struck with this staff, and its water will turn to blood. The fish will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be disgusted by its water.”
English
God also told Moses to give Aaron an instruction. Aaron was to hold out his staff over Egypt’s rivers, streams, pools, and ponds. Their water would turn to blood throughout the land, even in wooden and stone containers.
