Jehovah says: 'This is the way you will recognize that I am Jehovah: I will strike the Nile with this staff in my hand. The water will turn into blood. The fish in the Nile will die. The river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink any water from the Nile.' Jehovah then spoke to Moses: Tell Aaron, Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt; its rivers, canals, ponds, and all its reservoirs. They will turn into blood. There will be blood everywhere in Egypt, even in the buckets of wood and stone pitchers. read more.
Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah commanded. Aaron raised his staff and struck the Nile in front of Pharaoh and his officials. All the water in the river turned into blood. The fish in the Nile died. The river smelled bad. The Egyptians could not drink any water from the river. There was blood everywhere in Egypt. But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic spells. So Pharaoh continued to be stubborn. He would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as Jehovah predicted. Pharaoh turned and went back to his palace. This did not change his mind and heart. All the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink because they could not drink any of the water from the river. Seven days passed after Jehovah struck the Nile.

He gave their crops to grasshoppers and their produce to locusts. He killed their vines with hail and their fig trees with frost. He let the hail strike their cattle and bolts of lightning strike their livestock. He sent his fierce burning anger, his rage and fury against them. He sent an army of destroying angels. He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them from death. He let the plague take their lives. He destroyed every firstborn in Egypt, the ones born in the tents of Ham when their fathers were young.
