The Third Plague: Gnats

Exodus 8:16-19

8
Chapter 8
16 And the LORD said to Moses, "Rise early in the morning and station yourself before Pharaoh. He goes out to the water, and you shall say to him, 'Thus says the LORD: Send my people that they may serve me.'" 17 For if you do not send my people, here I am sending the swarms into you and into your servants and into your people and into your houses, and they will fill the houses of Egypt with the swarms, and also the land on which they are. 18 And I will distinguish on that day the land of Goshen, in which my people stand, so that there will not be swarms of flies there, and you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the land. 19 And I will put redemption between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be.
