BIBLE QUIZ:

(Old Testament - Moses/Exodus 7 & 8) – And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said. And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also. And all the Egyptians dug around about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river. And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river. Since pharaoh did not listen and his hear was hardened the LORD spoke unto Moses, “Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth your hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause ________ to come up upon the land of Egypt.”

REFERENCE:

The first miracle performed before Pharaoh by Moses and Aaron was:

1.) The staff of Aaron became a serpent and swallowed up the staffs of the Egyptian magicians which had also turned into serpents.

The first plague to come upon Egypt was:

1) The waters in the river were turned to blood.
