Exodus 8:6-17
6So Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the 12frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7However, 3the soothsayer priests did the same with their secret arts, 4making frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
8Then Pharaoh 5called for Moses and Aaron and said, “6Plead with the Lord 7to remove the frogs from me and from my people; and 8I will let the people go, so that they may sacrifice to the Lord.” 9And Moses said to Pharaoh, “9The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I plead for you and your servants and your people, 10that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they be left only in the Nile?”
10Then he said, “Tomorrow.” So he said, “May it be according to your word, so that you may know that there is 11no one like the Lord our God. 11The 12frogs will depart from you and your houses, and from your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.” 12Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and 13Moses cried out to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had 14inflicted upon Pharaoh. 13The Lord did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courtyards, and the fields. 14So they piled them in heaps, and the land stank. 15But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he 15hardened his heart and 16did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.
16Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth, so that it may turn into 17gnats through all the land of Egypt.’” 17They did so; and Aaron extended his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were 18gnats on every 19person and animal. All the dust of the earth turned into 2021gnats through all the land of Egypt.
