[The Pentateuch]

But when Pharaoh saw that he had rest given him, he hardened his heart and hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had said. And the Lord said unto Moses: Say unto Aaron stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land that it may turn to life in all the land of Egypt. And they did so. And Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth. and it turned to life both in man and beest, so that all the dust of the land ⟨image 111⟩turned to life, through out all the land of Egypt.

But when Pharao sawe that he had rest geuen him, he hardened his herte and herkened not vnto them, as the Lorde had sayde. And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Saye vnto Aarō stretch out thy rodd and smyte the dust of the lande that it maye turne to lyse in all the londe of Egipte. And they dyd so. And Aaron stretched out his hande with his rodd and smote the dust of the erth. ād it turned to lyse both in man and beest, so that all the dust of the lande ⟨image 111⟩turned to lyse, thorowe out all the lande of Egipte.

And the enchanters assayed likewise with their enchantments to bring forth life, but they could not. And the life were both upon man and beest. Then said the enchanters unto Pharaoh: it is the finger of God. Nevertheless Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he regarded them not, as the Lord had said.

Then sayde the enchaunters vnto Pharao: it is the fingre of God. Neuerthelater Pharaos herte was hardened and he regarded them not, as the Lorde had sayde.
