Context of Exodus 8:12

10He said, “Tomorrow.” And Moses said, “It will be as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God. 11The frogs will depart from you, your houses, your servants, and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.” Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the Lord because of the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh. 13The Lord did as Moses asked – the frogs died out of the houses, the villages, and the fields. 14The Egyptians piled them in countless heaps, and the land stank.
