Exodus 8:20-23

Contemporary English Version

Flies

²⁰ The Lord said to Moses:

Early tomorrow morning, while the king^[a] is on his way to the river, go and say to him, “The Lord commands you to let his people go, so they can worship him. ²¹ If you don't, he will send swarms of flies to attack you, your officials, and every citizen of your country. Your houses will be full of flies, and the ground will crawl with them.

^22-23 “The Lord's people in Goshen won't be bothered by flies, but your people in the rest of the country will be tormented by them. That's how you will know that the Lord is here in Egypt. This miracle will happen tomorrow.”
