Exodus 8:16-19



EJ2000(i)16 ¶ Then 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. 17 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. 18 And the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And there were lice upon man and upon beast. 19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart hardened, and he did not hearken unto them as the LORD had said.


These are my thoughts please share yours.

16 The land of Egypt would have been full of dust being in the wildereness.

17 Most lice eat away at skin but some eat blood. Lice are very hard to kil because they lay eggs so fast on the person they are on. Lice dwell in hair which they attach themselves because of this they are hard to spot with the eye. Lice can carry infections and even shorten life time of those they dwell on. Lice make they skin burn from they eating the skin.

18 Lice can dwell on birds as well as people and cattle. This pleague shoots down the Egyptian god of the earth named Geb. Again the pharoah's servants are not able to get rid of the pleague.

19 They again see God's power and know they can not stand against Him but pharoah does not let the people go.
