Context of Exodus 8:11

9So Adonai acted according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out in the houses, the courts and the fields. 10They piled them together in large heaps, and the land stank. But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them—just as Adonai had said. 12So Adonai said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, and it will become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.’” 13So they did. When Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, there were gnats on men and animals. All the dust of the earth became gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.

Because of this, Egyptians connected them with life and survival. Egyptians were very concerned about life after death. Through this plague, God showed that frogs do not control life.
