Exodus 8:20-24

20Now the Lord said to Moses, “1Rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh, 2as 3he comes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “4Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 21For if you do not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they dwell. 22 5But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are 6living, so that no swarms of flies will be there, in order that you may know that 7 8I, the Lord, am in the midst of the land. 23I will 9put a division between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will occur.”’” 24Then the Lord did so. And there came 10great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and the land was 11laid waste because of the swarms of flies in all the land of Egypt.
