Exodus 8:6-17
6So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the 12frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 73The 4magicians did 5the same with their secret arts, 6making frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
8Then Pharaoh 7called for Moses and Aaron and said, “8Entreat the Lord that He remove the frogs from me and from my people; and 9I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.” 9Moses said to Pharaoh, “10The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be 11destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?”
10Then he said, “Tomorrow.” So he said, “May it be according to your word, that you may know that there is 12no one like the Lord our God. 11The 13frogs will depart from you and your houses and your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.” 12Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and 14Moses cried to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had 15inflicted upon Pharaoh. 13The Lord did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courts, and the fields. 14So they piled them in heaps, and the land 16became foul. 15But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he 17hardened his heart and 18did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
16Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become 19gnats through all the land of Egypt.’” 17They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were 20gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became 2122gnats through all the land of Egypt.
