The damaged text in 4QpaleoExodm can be restored on the basis of the SP which seems to contain the
same additional material:

And Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and they said to him, ‘Yahweh the god
of the Hebrews has sent us to you to say: ‘Send away my people that they may
serve me in the wilderness;’ and behold until thus you did not listen. Thus
Yahweh has said: ‘With this you will know that I am Yahweh: behold I am
striking with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters that are in the river,
and they will be turned into blood. And the fish that is in the river will die, and
the river will be odorous, and the Egyptians will give up drinking the water
from the river.’The SP and 4QpaleoExodm both contain an additional Tatbericht that compliments the Wortbericht in Exod
7:16-18. Other instances of additional Wortberichte and Tatberichte in 4QpaleoExodm that reflect the SP
are frequent: see Q273, Q275 and Q281 below.
