Exodus 8:15-19

Exodus 8:15-19

[15] But when Pharaoh  saw  that there was respite,  he hardened  his heart,  and hearkened  not unto them; as the LORD  had said.  [16] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Say  unto Aaron,  Stretch out  thy rod,  and smite  the dust  of the land,  that it may become lice  throughout all the land  of Egypt.  [17] 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.  [18] 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.  [19] 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.
