Exodus Chapter 7: Moses and Aaron Confront Pharaoh
In Exodus chapter 7, God commands Moses and Aaron to confront Pharaoh and demand the release of the Israelites. God warns that He will harden Pharaoh's heart, allowing for the demonstration of His power through signs and wonders. The chapter details the first miracle performed by Aaron, where his rod turns into a serpent, and the subsequent challenge posed by Pharaoh's magicians. Despite the miraculous signs, Pharaoh's heart remains hardened, leading to the first plague where the waters of Egypt are turned to blood, causing great distress among the Egyptians.
