Exodus 8:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 8:16

14 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was ^arelief, ^bhe hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the Lord had said.

The Third Plague: Lice

16 So the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become¹ lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’ ”

17 And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and ^ait became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

18 Now ^athe magicians so worked with their¹ enchantments to bring forth lice, but they ^bcould not. So there were lice on man and beast.

19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is ^athe finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s ^bheart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.

The Fourth Plague: Flies

20 And the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water. Then say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: ^b“Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

21 Or else, if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.
