Exodus 8:16 Context
14And they gathered them together vpon heapes, and the land stanke. 15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respit, he hardned his heart, and hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said. 16¶ And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice, thorowout all the land of Egypt. 17And 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. 18And the Magicians did so with their enchantments to bring foorth lice, but they could not: so there were lice vpon man and vpon beast.
