¹⁹ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and ^(A)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their ^[a]streams, and over their pools, and over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

²⁰ So Moses and Aaron did even as the Lord had commanded. And he lifted up ^[b](B)the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and ^(C)all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.

^16 (A)the waters which were ^[a]flowing down from above stood and rose up in ^(B)one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were ^[b]flowing down toward the sea of the ^(C)Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.
