  1. Exodus 7:8

    וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר׃

    GOD said to Moses and Aaron,

    Targum Onkelos

    וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמֹשֶׁה וּלְאַהֲרֹן לְמֵימַר׃

    Adonoy said to Moshe and Aharon, saying:

  2. Exodus 7:9

    כִּי יְדַבֵּר אֲלֵכֶם פַּרְעֹה לֵאמֹר תְּנוּ לָכֶם מוֹפֵת וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל־אַהֲרֹן קַח אֶת־מַטְּךָ וְהַשְׁלֵךְ לִפְנֵי־פַרְעֹה יְהִי לְתַנִּין׃

    “When Pharaoh speaks to you and says, ‘Produce your marvel,’ you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it down before Pharaoh.’ It shall turn into a serpent.”

    Targum Onkelos

    אֲרֵי יְמַלֵּיל עִמְּכוֹן פַּרְעֹה לְמֵימַר הַבוּ לְכוֹן אָתָא וְתֵימַר לְאַהֲרֹן סַב יָת חוּטְרָךְ וּרְמִי קֳדָם פַּרְעֹה יְהֵי לְתַנִּינָא׃

    “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Give yourselves [credibility by displaying] a marvel;’ you [Moshe] should then say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod and throw it down before Pharaoh.’ It will become a serpent.’”

  3. Exodus 7:10

    וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן אֶל־פַּרְעֹה וַיַּעֲשׂוּ כֵן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אַהֲרֹן אֶת־מַטֵּהוּ לִפְנֵי פַרְעֹה וְלִפְנֵי עֲבָדָיו וַיְהִי לְתַנִּין׃

    So Moses and Aaron came before Pharaoh and did just as GOD had commanded: Aaron cast down his rod in the presence of Pharaoh and his courtiers, and it turned into a serpent.

    Targum Onkelos

    וְעָאל מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן לְוָת פַּרְעֹה וַעֲבַדוּ כֵן כְּמָא דְּפַקֵּיד יְיָ וּרְמָא אַהֲרֹן יָת חוּטְרֵיהּ קֳדָם פַּרְעֹה וּקְדָם עַבְדּוֹהִי וַהֲוָה לְתַנִּינָא׃

    Moshe and Aharon came to Pharaoh and they did exactly as Adonoy commanded [them]. Aharon threw his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a serpent.

  4. Exodus 7:11

    וַיִּקְרָא גַּם־פַּרְעֹה לַחֲכָמִים וְלַמְכַשְּׁפִים וַיַּעֲשׂוּ גַם־הֵם חַרְטֻמֵּי מִצְרַיִם בְּלַהֲטֵיהֶם כֵּן׃

    Then Pharaoh, for his part, summoned the sages and the sorcerers; and the Egyptian priestly magicians, in turn, did the same with their spells:

    Targum Onkelos

    וּקְרָא אַף פַּרְעֹה לְחַכִּימַיָּא וּלְחָרָשַׁיָּא וַעֲבַדוּ אַף אִנּוּן חָרָשֵׁי מִצְרַיִם בְּלַחֲשֵׁיהוֹן כֵּן׃

    Pharaoh too called [his] wise men and magicians. The sorcerers of Egypt also did likewise with their magic art.

  5. Exodus 7:12

    וַיַּשְׁלִיכוּ אִישׁ מַטֵּהוּ וַיִּהְיוּ לְתַנִּינִם וַיִּבְלַע מַטֵּה־אַהֲרֹן אֶת־מַטֹּתָם׃

    each cast down his rod, and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed their rods.

    Targum Onkelos

    וּרְמוֹ גְּבַר חוּטְרֵיהּ וַהֲווֹ לְתַנִּינִין וּבְלַע חוּטְרָא דְּאַהֲרֹן יָת חוּטְרֵיהוֹן׃

    When each man threw down his rod they (the rods) became serpents, and Aharon’s rod swallowed their rods.

  6. Exodus 7:13

    וַיֶּחֱזַק לֵב פַּרְעֹה וְלֹא שָׁמַע אֲלֵהֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהֹוָה׃

    Yet Pharaoh’s heart stiffened and he did not heed them, as GOD had said.

    Targum Onkelos

    וְאִתַּקַּף לִבָּא דְּפַרְעֹה וְלָא קַבֵּיל מִנְּהוֹן כְּמָא דְּמַלֵּיל יְיָ׃

    Pharaoh’s heart [remained] hard and he did not listen to [accept] them, just as Adonoy had foretold.

  7. Exodus 7:14

    וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה כָּבֵד לֵב פַּרְעֹה מֵאֵן לְשַׁלַּח הָעָם׃

    And GOD said to Moses, “Pharaoh is stubborn; he refuses to let the people go.

    Targum Onkelos

    וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמֹשֶׁה אִתְיַקַּר לִבָּא דְּפַרְעֹה סָרֵיב לְשַׁלָּחָא עַמָּא׃

    Adonoy said to Moshe, “Pharaoh’s heart is heavy [unmoved]. He refuses to let the people go.

  8. Exodus 7:15

    לֵךְ אֶל־פַּרְעֹה בַּבֹּקֶר הִנֵּה יֹצֵא הַמַּיְמָה וְנִצַּבְתָּ לִקְרָאתוֹ עַל־שְׂפַת הַיְאֹר וְהַמַּטֶּה אֲשֶׁר־נֶהְפַּךְ לְנָחָשׁ תִּקַּח בְּיָדֶךָ׃

    Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is coming out to the water, and station yourself before him at the edge of the Nile, taking with you the rod that turned into a snake.

    Targum Onkelos

    אִיזֵיל לְוָת פַּרְעֹה בְּצַפְרָא הָא נָפֵיק לְמַיָּא וְתִתְעַתַּד לְקַדָּמוּתֵיהּ עַל כֵּיף נַהְרָא וְחוּטְרָא דְּאִתְהֲפֵיךְ לְחִוְיָא תִּסַּב בִּידָךְ׃

    Go to Pharaoh in the morning when he goes out to the water, and stand there to meet him by the bank of the river. The rod that was turned into a snake, take in your hand.

  9. Exodus 7:16

    And say to him, ‘The ETERNAL, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to say, “Let My people go that they may worship Me in the wilderness.” But you have paid no heed until now.

    Targum Onkelos

    וְתֵימַר לֵיהּ יְיָ אֱלָהָא דִּיהוּדָאֵי שַׁלְחַנִי לְוָתָךְ לְמֵימַר שַׁלַּח יָת עַמִּי וְיִפְלְחוּן קֳדָמַי בְּמַדְבְּרָא וְהָא לָא קַבֵּילְתָּא עַד כְּעַן׃

    Say to him, “Adonoy, God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to say [to you], ‘Send out My people that they may worship [before] Me in the wilderness. Behold, thus far you have not listened [accepted].

  10. Exodus 7:17

    כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה בְּזֹאת תֵּדַע כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי מַכֶּה ׀ בַּמַּטֶּה אֲשֶׁר־בְּיָדִי עַל־הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר בַּיְאֹר וְנֶהֶפְכוּ לְדָם׃

    Thus says GOD, “By this you shall know that I am GOD.” See, I shall strike the water in the Nile with the rod that is in my hand, and it will be turned into blood;

    Targum Onkelos

    כִּדְנָן אֲמַר יְיָ בְּדָא תִדַּע אֲרֵי אֲנָא יְיָ הָא אֲנָא מָחֵי בְחוּטְרָא דִּבְיְדִי עַל מַיָּא דִּבְנַהְרָא וְיִתְהַפְכוּן לִדְמָא׃

    This is what Adonoy has said, ‘By this you will know that I am Adonoy. Behold, with the rod that is in my hand, I will strike the water of the river and it will turn into blood.

  11. Exodus 7:18

    וְהַדָּגָה אֲשֶׁר־בַּיְאֹר תָּמוּת וּבָאַשׁ הַיְאֹר וְנִלְאוּ מִצְרַיִם לִשְׁתּוֹת מַיִם מִן־הַיְאֹר׃

    and the fish in the Nile will die. The Nile will stink so that the Egyptians will find it impossible to drink the water of the Nile.’”

    Targum Onkelos

    וְנוּנֵי דִּבְנַהְרָא יְמוּתוּן וְיִסְרֵי נַהְרָא וְיִלְאוֹן מִצְרָאֵי לְמִשְׁתֵּי מַיָּא מִן נַהְרָא׃

    The fish that is in the river will die, and the river will become polluted. The Egyptians will weary themselves [trying to purify] drinking water from the river.’”

  12. Exodus 7:19

    וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה אֱמֹר אֶל־אַהֲרֹן קַח מַטְּךָ וּנְטֵה־יָדְךָ עַל־מֵימֵי מִצְרַיִם עַל־נַהֲרֹתָם ׀ עַל־יְאֹרֵיהֶם וְעַל־אַגְמֵיהֶם וְעַל כׇּל־מִקְוֵה מֵימֵיהֶם וְיִהְיוּ־דָם וְהָיָה דָם בְּכׇל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וּבָעֵצִים וּבָאֲבָנִים׃

    And GOD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron: Take your rod and hold out your arm over the waters of Egypt—its rivers, its canals, its ponds, all its bodies of water—that they may turn to blood; there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and stone.”

    Targum Onkelos

    וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמֹשֶׁה אֵימַר לְאַהֲרֹן סַב חוּטְרָךְ וַאֲרֵים יְדָךְ עַל מַיָּא דְּמִצְרָאֵי עַל נַהְרֵיהוֹן עַל אֲרִתֵּיהוֹן וְעַל אַגְמֵיהוֹן וְעַל כָּל בֵּית כְּנֵישָׁת מֵימֵיהוֹן וִיהוֹן דְּמָא וִיהֵי דְמָא בְּכָל אַרְעָא דְּמִצְרַיִם וּבְמָנֵי אָעָא וּבְמָנֵי אַבְנָא׃

    Adonoy said to Moshe, “Say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod and extend your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers, over their canals, over their lakes, and over every place where their water is gathered, and it [the water] will become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, [even] in [vessels] of wood and [vessels] of stone.”

  13. Exodus 7:20

    וַיַּעֲשׂוּ־כֵן מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן כַּאֲשֶׁר ׀ צִוָּה יְהֹוָה וַיָּרֶם בַּמַּטֶּה וַיַּךְ אֶת־הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר בַּיְאֹר לְעֵינֵי פַרְעֹה וּלְעֵינֵי עֲבָדָיו וַיֵּהָפְכוּ כׇּל־הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר־בַּיְאֹר לְדָם׃

    Moshe and Aharon did exactly as Adonoy commanded them. He [Aharon] lifted the rod and struck the water in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his [Pharaoh’s] servants, and all the water of the river turned into blood.

  14. Exodus 7:21

    וְהַדָּגָה אֲשֶׁר־בַּיְאֹר מֵתָה וַיִּבְאַשׁ הַיְאֹר וְלֹא־יָכְלוּ מִצְרַיִם לִשְׁתּוֹת מַיִם מִן־הַיְאֹר וַיְהִי הַדָּם בְּכׇל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃

    and the fish in the Nile died. The Nile stank so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile; and there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
