Exodus 8:16-19
The Plague of Gnats
16Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become 1gnats through all the land of Egypt.’” 17And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were 1gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became 2,agnats through all the land of Egypt. 18Then 1the magicians did the same with their secret arts in order to bring forth 2gnats, but athey could not; so there were 3gnats on man and beast. 19And the 1magicians said to Pharaoh, “aThis is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was 2hardened with strength, and he did not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
