Exodus 8:15-32

15And PharaohH6547 saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heartH3820, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had saidH559. 16And Jehovah saidH559 to MosesH4872, SayH559 unto Aaron, StretchH7971 out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. 17And they did so; and Aaron stretchedH7971 out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earthH127, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the landH127 became gnats throughout the landH127 of EgyptH4713. 18And the scribes did soH4616 with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast. 19Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of 1God! But Pharaoh's heart wasH1961 stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said. 20And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before PharaohH6547 — behold, he will goH935 out to the water — and say to him, ThusH3651 saith Jehovah, Let my people goH935, that they may serve me. 21For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the groundH776 on which they are. 22And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land. 23And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be. 24And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of PharaohH6547, and [into] the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies. 25And PharaohH6547 called MosesH4872 and Aaron, and saidH559, GoH3318, sacrificeH2076 to your 2God in the land. 26And MosesH4872 said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our 3God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us? 27We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our 4God, as he shall command us. 28And PharaohH6547 said, I will let you goH7971, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your 5God in the wilderness; only, goH7971 not very far awayH7971: intreat for me! 29And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah. 30And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah. 31And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one. 32And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.
