Exodus 8:16-19

16Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “TellH559H413 AaronH175, ‘Stretch outH5186 your staffH4294 and strikeH5221 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, that it may turn intoH1961 swarms of gnatsH3654 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.’”

17This they didH6213H3651, and when AaronH175 stretched outH5186 his handH3027 with his staffH4294 and struckH5221 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, gnatsH3654 came uponH1961 manH120 and beastH929. AllH3605 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 turned intoH1961 gnatsH3654 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

18The magiciansH2748 triedH6213H3651 to produceH3318 gnatsH3654 using their magic artsH3909, but they couldH3201 notH3808. And the gnatsH3654 remainedH1961 on manH120 and beastH929.

19“ThisH1931 is the fingerH676 of GodH430,” the magiciansH2748 saidH559 toH413 PharaohH6547. But Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was hardenedH2388,1 and he would notH3808 listenH8085 to themH413, just asH834 the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
