← Exodus 8:22	Exodus 8:23 (KJV)	Exodus 8:24 →
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of the earth.	And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.	And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm [of flies] into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm [of flies].
