耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權

14. And the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hardened. He refuses to let the people go.

15. You go to Pharaoh in the morning. Lo, he goes out to the water. And you shall stand by the river’s bank until he comes. And you shall take in your hand the rod which was turned to a snake.

16. And you shall say to him, ‘The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go so that they may serve Me in the wilderness.” And, behold, until now you would not hear.

17. Thus says the LORD, “In this you shall know that I am the LORD. Behold, I will smite with the rod that is in My hand upon the waters in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

18. And the fish in the river shall die, and the river shall stink. And the Egyptians shall hate to drink of the water of the river.” ’ ”

19. And the LORD spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their canals, and upon their pools, and upon every reservoir of their waters, that they may become blood. And blood shall be throughout all the land of Egypt, both in wooden and in stone vessels.’ ”

20. And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded. And he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. And all the waters in the river were turned to blood.

21. And the fish 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.

22. And the priests of Egypt did so with their secret arts. And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the LORD had said.

23. And Pharaoh turned and went into his house; And he also did not take this to heart.

24. And all the Egyptians dug all around the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river.

25. And seven days were completed after the LORD had stricken the river.

 (A Faithful Version)

14. 大能者對摩西說：法老是定意不放子民離去。

15. 法老每天都到河邊，你在路旁等著，手中拿著那曾經變蛇的杖。

16. 要對法老直言：那希伯來人的大能者叫我對你說，容許我的子民到曠野去獻祭這事，到如今都不曾落實。

17. 這位大能者說，如今會用手中的杖，擊打河水，水就會變成血。

18. 它會導致河魚死亡，河水發臭，埃及人再不能飲用這水。

19. 大能者續對摩西吩咐，此時告訴亞倫，讓他用你的杖，當著法老及眾臣面前，撃打河水，河水會立時成了血水。

20. 摩西和亞倫就照耶和華所吩咐，在法老和他臣僕眼前，舉杖擊打河水，河水就都變成血水。

21. 河裡的魚死了，河水發臭了，埃及人無水飲用，因血水隨處都是。

22. 只是，埃及的魔法師也曾施展這樣的魔法，法老見此，就更不相信。那大能者早說過會出現這種情況。

23. 法老不理他們，轉身回宮，也沒有把這事放在心上。

24. 埃及人因為水不能喝的緣故，四周去尋找水源。

25. 這情況，大能者持續了七天。

AI人沒有水將會出現的情況：

Going without water for 7 days is typically fatal for most humans.  While survival is theoretically possible under perfect conditions (cool temperature, complete rest, high initial hydration), the body undergoes catastrophic systemic failure long before the week is over.

Physiological Timeline of Deprivation

Days 1–2: Compensation and Cognitive Decline

The body immediately enters conservation mode. The kidneys drastically reduce urine output, resulting in dark, concentrated urine. As blood volume drops, the heart rate increases to maintain blood pressure. Cognitive functions degrade quickly; even a 2% loss of body water impairs concentration and mood.  By 24 hours, symptoms include intense thirst, dry mouth, headaches, and irritability.

Days 3–5: Organ Stress and Hypernatremia

Blood sodium levels rise dangerously (hypernatremia), pulling water out of cells to preserve blood volume.  This causes cells to shrink, leading to a “doughy” skin texture and severe neurological issues like confusion, dizziness, and excessive drowsiness.

• Kidney Injury: Lack of blood flow causes acute kidney injury as filtering units fail to remove waste. 
• Brain Shrinkage: Brain tissue physically shrinks, expanding ventricular spaces. The brain must work significantly harder to perform basic tasks. 
• Circulatory Collapse: The body enters “compensated shock,” where the heart pumps rapidly (tachycardia) while blood pressure drops upon standing.

Days 5–7: Multi-Organ Failure and Death

By day 5 to 7, compensatory mechanisms are overwhelmed. Blood volume may drop by 20–25%, leading to:

• Hypovolemic Shock: The heart cannot circulate enough blood to keep tissues alive. 
• Toxic Blood: Waste products accumulate to toxic levels due to kidney failure. 
• Neurological Collapse: Severe confusion, hallucinations, seizures, and coma occur as the brain pulls away from the skull, potentially tearing blood vessels.
• Cardiac Arrest: Electrolyte imbalances disrupt the heart’s electrical signaling.

Most people do not survive past this point. Death typically results from hypovolemic shock or multi-organ failure. 

Critical Variables Influencing Survival

The “7-day” estimate is a rough maximum for a healthy adult in ideal conditions. Several factors drastically shorten this window:

• Temperature: In hot environments, death can occur in hours due to heat stroke and rapid fluid loss through sweating. 
• Activity Level: Physical exertion accelerates dehydration. 
• Age: Infants and the elderly have much lower tolerance. An infant can reach a critical state in under 24 hours, while the elderly may succumb within 48 hours due to diminished thirst mechanisms and kidney function. 
• Food Intake: Eating dry food without water accelerates death because digestion requires water. However, consuming water-rich foods (fruits/vegetables) can slightly extend survival time, though not indefinitely.

當日的法老有沒有這類認識？相信沒有。法老是不明白水變血是無法用人的方法達致？ 不是不知，而是被魔術蒙騙。

Magic, in the context of performance illusion, has existed for over 2,500 years, with the first recorded act by the magician Dedi in Ancient Egypt around 2,700 B.C. 

• Early Records: Egyptian hieroglyphs and papyri from circa 2,500–2,600 B.C. depict early tricks like decapitation and resurrection, as well as early versions of the cups and balls routine. 
• Classical Documentation: Magic as a reliable performance art was documented in Ancient Rome between 50–300 A.D. by a group known as the Acetabularii, who specialized in the cups and balls effect. 
• Conceptual Origins: The concept of magical thinking and supernatural practices predates recorded history, existing since prehistory as early human attempts to explain natural phenomena.

有關魔法的歷史也許可以參考：https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/202008/the-history-of-magic

據說,魔法很早出現，甚至比宗教更古老。法老對魔法的認識，比許多釋經家更認識它的內容是什麼。而魔法到了今天，那是掩眼法技巧，是知識的一種。

大能者的作為，是讓人從魔幻的現象中，明白這改變會產生什麼後果，自己作決定的一個過程。當時的法老，對世事不是無知，早期的法老都是精明能幹的，既是見過，就有了解釋是人為的可能。

法老看到這現象，不被動搖信念，是因為人的作為。現實中人的死亡，有許多可能解釋，況且在當權者眼中，人算什麼？ (人，是當權者的資產，看專權的領袖，或政權，人是資產，是物件不是生命，撒母耳記上8章就有記述) 。他從來不缺用水，不信是情理中事，心裡剛硬，確是事實。

心理剛硬的成因，都與個人認知什麼有關，這不是單單發生在這位法老身上，在有學識或少學識的人有，在有心或無心的人有，在好人有，在壞人也有，人有固執是事實，可以是擇善或擇惡。法老不壞，就是不認識大能者的作為，可以超乎人想像。

七天過了，後果如何？當時摩西沒有提及，今日卻有資料可以參考。那是一個過程，這漸進式的嚴重，是確定它不是魔術，增加下次談判時，獲更為有利的處境，法老願意放行的機率加增。
