Pharaoh declared that Moses and Aaron were impostors, and could accomplish no more than his magicians. Said Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, That Jehovah whom thou pretendest not to know, will convince thee that he is more powerful than all gods. They informed him that God would yet perform greater wonders, which would leave him without excuse, and which would be perpetual monuments of his providence and power in behalf of Israel. {1SP 184.3}

Farao erklærede at Moses og Aron var bedragere, og kunne ikke udrette mere end sine troldmænd. Moses og Aron sagde til Farao, At Jehova som du foregiver at ikke kende, (184) vil overbevise dig om at han er mere mægtig end alle guder. De informerede ham at Gud stadig ville udføre større undere, som ville lade ham uden undskyldning, og som ville være evige monumenter for hans forsyn og kraft for Israels skyld.
