Exodus 8:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² “ ‘ “But on that day I will treat the area of Goshen differently from yours. That is where my people live. There will not be large numbers of flies in Goshen. Then you will know that I, the Lord, am in this land. ²³ I will treat my people differently from yours. This sign will take place tomorrow.” ’ ”

²⁴ So the Lord did it. Huge numbers of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace. They came into the homes of his officials. All over Egypt the flies destroyed the land.
