The Plague of Lice
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. 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. 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. 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.
