The Water Becomes Blood

¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “·The king is being stubborn [^LPharaoh’s heart is hard/heavy] and refuses to let the people go. ¹⁵ In the morning ·the king [^LPharaoh] will go out to the ·Nile River [^Lwater]. Go meet him by the edge of the ·river [^LNile], and take with you the ·walking stick [staff] that became a ·snake [serpent]. ¹⁶ Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you. He said, ‘Let my people go ·worship [serve] me in the ·desert [wilderness].’ Until now you have not listened.
