What happensPermalink
The plague of frogs (copied by the magicians), the plague of gnats (not copied), and the plague of flies (only on Egyptians). Pharaoh agrees to let the Israelites go if Moses takes away the flies. God takes them away, but Pharaoh changes his mind.
Why it mattersPermalink
All the frogs on land died, but all the frogs in the river lived, showing that the frogs’ appearance and death were not natural, but supernatural. Similarly, God clearly shows His power by sending flies on only Egyptians.
Key versePermalink
“But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.”
