After Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help concerning the frogs that he had brought against Pharaoh.
The LORD did as Moses had said: the frogs in the houses, courtyards, and fields died.
The LORD did as Moses had said: He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, his officials, and his people; not one was left.
“But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that the Israelites own will die.”
