So the Lord said to Moses, ‘Tell Aaron: Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt #– #over their rivers, canals, ponds, and all their water reservoirs #– #and they will become blood. There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in wooden and stone containers.’
For this time I am about to send all my plagues against you, your officials, and your people. Then you will know there is no one like me on the whole earth.
Moses said to him, ‘When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know the earth , belongs to the Lord.
and so that you may tell your son and grandson how severely I dealt with the Egyptians and performed miraculous signs among them, and you will know that I am the Lord.’
He said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth, who keeps his gracious covenant with your servants who walk before you with all their heart.
‘You are my witnesses’ – this is the Lord’s declaration – ‘and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. No god was formed before me, and there will be none after me.
