The two signs refer to the previous miracles God instructed Moses to perform: turning his staff into a serpent and making his hand leprous and then healed. These signs were meant to authenticate Moses' divine commission. The Israelites' potential disbelief reflects a recurring theme of doubt and testing God, seen throughout their wilderness journey (e.g., <a href="/exodus/17-2.htm">Exodus 17:2-7</a>). This skepticism also foreshadows the persistent unbelief that Jesus encountered during His ministry (<a href="/john/12-37.htm">John 12:37</a>).<p><b>take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground</b><br>The Nile River was central to Egyptian life and economy, symbolizing fertility and sustenance. By instructing Moses to take water from the Nile, God was directly challenging the Egyptian deities associated with the river, such as Hapi, the god of the Nile. This act would demonstrate God's supremacy over Egyptian gods and foreshadow the plagues, particularly the first plague where the Nile turned to blood (<a href="/exodus/7-14.htm">Exodus 7:14-24</a>). The dry ground signifies the land of Egypt, which would be affected by God's judgment.<p><b>Then the water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.</b><br>This transformation of water into blood is a precursor to the first plague and serves as a sign of judgment. Blood in the Bible often symbolizes life (<a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a>) and judgment (<a href="/revelation/16-3.htm">Revelation 16:3-4</a>). This miracle prefigures the ultimate judgment and redemption through the blood of Christ, who turned water into wine at Cana (<a href="/john/2.htm">John 2:1-11</a>), symbolizing the new covenant. The act of turning water into blood on the ground also signifies the impending judgment on Egypt, a nation that had oppressed God's people, and serves as a warning of the consequences of unbelief and disobedience.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

The English equivalent of the phrase used would be, "shall assuredly become." The signs were, no doubt, selected primarily for facility of exhibition; but they may also have been intended to be significant. The change of a rod into a serpent showed that a feeble implement might become a power to chastise and to destroy. That of a healthy into a leprous hand, and the reverse, indicated that Moses's mission was both to punish and to save; while the change of water into blood suggested--albeit vaguely--the conversion of that peace and prosperity, which Egypt was enjoying, into calamity, suffering, and bloodshed.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 9.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">If they will not believe also</span>.

Of the three signs given, the first would probably convince all those who were religious, well-disposed, and fair-minded; the second, acting upon their fears, would move all but the desperately wicked, who despised Jehovah and put their trust in the gods of the Egyptians (<a href="/joshua/24-14.htm">Joshua 24:14</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/20-7.htm">Ezekiel 20:7, 8</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/23-3.htm">Ezekiel 23:3, 8</a>, etc.). The third sign was for these last, who would regard the Nile as a great divinity, and would see in the conversion of Nile water into blood a significant indication that the God who had commissioned Moses was greater than any Egyptian one. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/4-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">But if</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1488;&#1460;&#1501;&#1470;</span> <span class="translit">(&#8217;im-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_518.htm">Strong's 518: </a> </span><span class="str2">Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, not</span><br /><br /><span class="word">they do not</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1500;&#1465;&#1443;&#1488;</span> <span class="translit">(l&#333;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb - Negative particle<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> </span><span class="str2">Not, no</span><br /><br /><span class="word">believe</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1497;&#1463;&#1488;&#1458;&#1502;&#1460;&#1441;&#1497;&#1504;&#1493;&#1468;</span> <span class="translit">(ya&#183;&#8217;a&#774;&#183;m&#238;&#183;n&#363;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_539.htm">Strong's 539: </a> </span><span class="str2">To confirm, support</span><br /><br /><span class="word">even</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1490;&#1468;&#1463;&#1501;&#1449;</span> <span class="translit">(gam)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1571.htm">Strong's 1571: </a> </span><span class="str2">Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and</span><br /><br /><span class="word">these</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1492;&#1464;&#1488;&#1461;&#1431;&#1500;&#1468;&#1462;&#1492;</span> <span class="translit">(h&#257;&#183;&#8217;&#234;l&#183;leh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article &#124;
