¹⁹ `And I -- I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,

² and Pharaoh saith, `Who `is' Jehovah, that I hearken to His voice, to send Israel away? I have not known Jehovah, and Israel also I do not send away.'

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Now dost thou see that which I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he doth send them away, yea, with a strong hand he doth cast them out of his land.'

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;

² thou -- thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.

³ `And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,

⁴ and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;

⁵ and the Egyptians have known that I `am' Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'

⁶ And Moses doth -- Aaron also -- as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;

⁷ and Moses `is' a son of eighty years, and Aaron `is' a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.

⁸ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ `When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh -- it becometh a monster.'

¹⁰ And Moses goeth in -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.

¹¹ And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,

¹² and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods;

¹³ and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

¹⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;

¹¹ And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age `is' His kindness.

¹² By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age `is' His kindness.

¹² Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during.

¹³ Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.
