Exodus 8:17-24
17And they didH6213 so; for AaronH175 stretched outH5186 his handH3027 with his rodH4294, and smoteH5221 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and it became liceH3654 in manH120, and in beastH929; all the dustH6083 of the landH776 became liceH3654 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 18And the magiciansH2748 didH6213 so with their enchantmentsH3909 to bring forthH3318 liceH3654, but they couldH3201 not: so there were liceH3654 upon manH120, and upon beastH929. 19Then the magiciansH2748 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, This is the fingerH676 of GodH430: and Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was hardenedH2388, and he hearkenedH8085 not unto them; as YhwhH3068 had saidH1696.
20And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Rise up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and standH3320 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547; lo, he cometh forthH3318 to the waterH4325; and sayH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Let my peopleH5971 goH7971, that they may serveH5647 me. 21Else, if thou wilt not let my peopleH5971 goH7971, behold, I will sendH7971 swarmsH6157 of flies upon thee, and upon thy servantsH5650, and upon thy peopleH5971, and into thy housesH1004: and the housesH1004 of the EgyptiansH4714 shall be fullH4390 of swarmsH6157 of flies, and also the groundH127 whereon they are.1 22And I will severH6395 in that dayH3117 the landH776 of GoshenH1657, in which my peopleH5971 dwellH5975, that noH1115 swarmsH6157 of flies shall beH1961 there; to the endH4616 thou mayest knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776. 23And I will putH7760 a divisionH6304 between my peopleH5971 and thy peopleH5971: to morrowH4279 shall this signH226 be.23 24And YhwhH3068 didH6213 so; and there cameH935 a grievousH3515 swarmH6157 of flies into the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547, and into his servants’H5650 housesH1004, and into all the landH776 of EgyptH4714: the landH776 was corruptedH7843 by reasonH6440 of the swarmH6157 of flies.4
