Exo 7:14 | MHM | STEP | Exodus 7:14−25: The Plagues of Egypt – Water Turned to Blood This passage describes the first of the ten plagues God sends on Egypt: turning the water of the Nile and all other water sources into blood. This was a very serious punishment because water is necessary for life, and the Egyptians depended on the Nile for food and drink. The plague was also a judgment on the Egyptians for worshipping the Nile and for their cruelty to the Israelites. Even though the magicians tried to copy the miracle, Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. The Egyptians suffered, but Pharaoh did not repent. v. 14-15 : God tells Moses that Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn and he still refuses to let the Israelites go. God instructs Moses to meet Pharaoh in the morning by the river, carrying the same rod that was turned into a serpent. Moses is to deliver God’s message and warn Pharaoh about the coming plague ( v. 14, 15 ).
