Exodus 8:17-24

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.

20Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “Get up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and when PharaohH6547 goes outH2009H3318 to the waterH4325, standH3320 before himH6440 and tell himH559 thatH413 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘Let My peopleH5971 goH7971, so that they may worship MeH5647. 21ButH3588 ifH518 you will notH369 let My peopleH5971H2005 goH7971, I will sendH7971 swarmsH6157 of flies2 upon you and your officialsH5650 and your peopleH5971 and your housesH1004. The housesH1004 of the EgyptiansH4713 and evenH1571 the groundH127 where theyH1992 stand will be fullH4390 of fliesH6157H5921.

22But on thatH1931 dayH3117 I will give special treatmentH6395 to the landH776 of GoshenH1657, whereH834 My peopleH5971 liveH5975H5921; noH1115 swarmsH6157 of flies will beH1961 found thereH8033. In this wayH4616 you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589, the LORDH3068, am inH7130 the landH776. 23I will makeH7760 a distinctionH63043 betweenH996 My peopleH5971H996 and your peopleH5971. ThisH2088 signH226 will take placeH1961 tomorrowH4279.’”

24And the LORDH3068 didH6213 soH3651. ThickH3515 swarmsH6157 of flies pouredH935 into Pharaoh’sH6547 palaceH1004 and into the housesH1004 of his officialsH5650. ThroughoutH3605 EgyptH4714 the landH776 was ruinedH7843H776 byH6440 swarmsH6157 of flies.
