Context of Exodus 8:11
9Moses answered Pharaoh, “You may have the honor of choosing when I should pray for you, your officials, and your people. Then the frogs will leave you and your homes. The only ones left will be those in the Nile.” 10“Pray for me tomorrow,” Pharaoh said. Moses replied, “It will be as you say so that you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God. The frogs will leave you, your homes, your officials, and your people. The only frogs left will be those in the Nile.” 12After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, Moses prayed to the Lord about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh. 13The Lord did what Moses asked. The frogs died in the houses, in the yards, and in the fields.
