Exodus 7:24 in Context — Exodus 7

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.

23 Pharaon s’en retourna, et alla dans sa maison; et il ne prit pas même à cœur ces choses.

24 Tous les Égyptiens creusèrent aux environs du fleuve, pour trouver de l’eau à boire; car ils ne pouvaient boire de l’eau du fleuve.

25 Il s’écoula sept jours, après que l’Éternel eut frappé le fleuve.
