Exodus 7:20 in Context — Exodus 7

18 Les poissons qui sont dans le fleuve périront, le fleuve se corrompra, et les Égyptiens s’efforceront en vain de boire l’eau du fleuve.

19 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: Dis à Aaron: Prends ta verge, et étends ta main sur les eaux des Égyptiens, sur leurs rivières, sur leurs ruisseaux, sur leurs étangs, et sur tous leurs amas d’eaux. Elles deviendront du sang: et il y aura du sang dans tout le pays d’Égypte, dans les vases de bois et dans les vases de pierre.

20 Moïse et Aaron firent ce que l’Éternel avait ordonné. Aaron leva la verge, et il frappa les eaux qui étaient dans le fleuve, sous les yeux de Pharaon et sous les yeux de ses serviteurs; et toutes les eaux du fleuve furent changées en sang.

21 Les poissons qui étaient dans le fleuve périrent, le fleuve se corrompit, les Égyptiens ne pouvaient plus boire l’eau du fleuve, et il y eut du sang dans tout le pays d’Égypte.

22 Mais les magiciens d’Égypte en firent autant par leurs enchantements. Le cœur de Pharaon s’endurcit, et il n’écouta point Moïse et Aaron, selon ce que l’Éternel avait dit.
