Ex 8:15
15 But when Pharaoh saw that he had some breathing room, he
got stubborn again and wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron
This is a typical human problem!
Ex 8:16-18
GOD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff and
strike the dust. The dust will turn into gnats all over Egypt.'"
17 He did it. Aaron grabbed his staff and struck the dust of
the Earth; it turned into gnats, gnats all over people and animals. All the
dust of the Earth turned into gnats, gnats everywhere in Egypt.
18 The magicians tried to produce gnats with their
incantations but this time they couldn't do it
Ex 8:20-24
GOD said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and
confront Pharaoh as he goes down to the water. Tell him, 'GOD's Message:
Release my people so they can worship me. 21 If you don't release my people,
I'll release swarms of flies on you, your servants, your people, and your
homes. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground under their feet will be
thick with flies. 22 But when it happens, I'll set Goshen where my people live
aside as a sanctuary — no flies in Goshen. That will show you that I am GOD in
this land. 23 I'll make a sharp distinction between your people and mine. This
sign will occur tomorrow.'"
24 And GOD did just that. Thick swarms of flies in Pharaoh's
palace and the houses of his servants. All over Egypt, the country ruined by
flies.
Ex 9:1-7
GOD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'GOD,
the God of the Hebrews, says: Release my people so they can worship me. 2 If
you refuse to release them and continue to hold on to them, 3 I'm giving you
fair warning: GOD will come down hard on your livestock out in the fields —
horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep — striking them with a severe disease. 4
GOD will draw a sharp line between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of
Egypt. Not one animal that belongs to the Israelites will die.'"
5 Then GOD set the time: "Tomorrow GOD will do this
thing."
6 And the next day GOD did it. All the livestock of Egypt
died, but not one animal of the Israelites died. 7 Pharaoh sent men to find out
what had happened and there it was: none of the livestock of the Israelites had
died — not one death
