Exodus 8:18

---

← Exodus 8:17	Exodus 8:18 (KJV)	Exodus 8:19 →
And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.	And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.	Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
