¹⁷ But the Lord ^(A)plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

³ But ^(A)God came to Abimelech ^(B)in a dream by night, and said to him, ^(C)“Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is ^[a]a man’s wife.”

¹⁵ Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the ^(A)water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and ^(B)the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand. ¹⁶ And you shall say to him, ^(C)‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, ^(D)that they may ^[a]serve Me in the wilderness”; but indeed, until now you would not hear! ¹⁷ Thus says the Lord: “By this ^(E)you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and ^(F)they shall be turned ^(G)to blood. ¹⁸ And the fish that are in the river shall die, the river shall stink, and the Egyptians will ^(H)loathe^[b] to drink the water of the river.” ’ ”
