Exodus 7:9-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘^[a](A)Work a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘^(B)Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” ¹⁰ So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and ^[b]his servants, and it ^(C)became a serpent. ¹¹ Then Pharaoh also ^(D)called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the ^[c](E)magicians of Egypt, did ^[d]the same with ^(F)their secret arts.
