17 Thus says the Lord, “By this ^jyou shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and ^kit shall turn into blood.

22 But on that day I will ^eset apart the land of Goshen, ^fwhere my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.¹
