Exodus 8:20-22

Expanded Bible

The Flies

²⁰ The Lord told Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and meet the king of Egypt as he goes out to the ·river [^Lwater]. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go so they can ·worship [serve] me. ²¹ If you don’t let them go, I will send swarms of flies into your houses. The flies will be on you, your officers, and your people. The houses of Egypt will be full of flies, and they will be all over the ground, too. ²² ·But I will not treat the Israelites the same as the Egyptian people [On that day I will separate the land of Goshen where my people are; ^Clocated in the eastern part of the Nile Delta; Gen. 45:10]. There will not be any flies ·in the land of Goshen, where my people live [^Lthere]. By this you will know that I, the Lord, am in this land.
