God reminds Moses of the roles he and Aaron are playing. He told Moses that he was as a god and Aaron as a prophet and they were to approach the Pharaoh. Because of the horrendous things the Pharaoh had done to God's chosen children, he would pay. God would harden his heart making him to be stubborn so that God could demonstrate to him the power that is His. The Egyptians would learn to fear and honor God.
Moses was 80 and Aaron 83 when they and their families approached the Pharaoh. They turned the staff into a serpent, and the Pharaoh summoned sorcerers who did the same, but Aaron's staff swallowed their staffs.
Then Aaron came and struck the water supplies with his staff in full view of the Pharaoh telling him that God was turning his waters into blood because he had refused to let the people go. They lost all their sea food and had no clean water to drink. Then the Lord told Moses to wait a week and then strike Pharaoh with a plague of frogs. There were swarms of them everywhere.
