¹⁷ Thus says the Lord: “By this ^(A)you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and ^(B)they shall be turned ^(C)to blood.

²² And in that day ^(A)I will set apart the land of ^(B)Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may ^(C)know that I am the Lord in the midst of the ^(D)land.

⁴ Then ^(A)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I ^(B)will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, ^(C)that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

¹⁸ Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
