Exodus 8:6-17

6“Tomorrow,” he said. So he said, “Let it happen according to your word, so that you may know that there is none like Adonai our God.

7The frogs will depart from you, from your houses, from your servants and from your people. They will remain only in the Nile.”

8After Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, Moses cried out to Adonai concerning the frogs, which He had brought upon Pharaoh.

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.

11But 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.

14When the magicians attempted the same with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, they could not. There were gnats on men and animals.

15So the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them—just as Adonai had said.

16Then Adonai said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh. As he comes to the water say to him, This is what Adonai says: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

17Or else, if you do not let My people go, I will send the swarm of flies on you and on your servants, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of the swarm of flies including the ground that they stand on.
