    and dealt shrewdly with his servants.

    and the one he chose, Aaron.

    but the Egyptians rejected his word.
²⁹ God turned their waters into blood
    and killed their fish.
³⁰ God made their land swarm with frogs^[b]—
    even in the bedrooms of their king!

    struck down their very pride and joy.
³⁷ Then God brought Israel out, filled with silver and gold;
    not one of its tribes stumbled.

    because the dread of Israel had come upon them.
