Exodus 8:15-16 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. 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.
The third plague, Lice. The dust became lice and covered the land. Man and beast suffered untold misery from this terrible plague. Although pharaoh’s aids pointed out that this surely was God’s punishment, Pharaoh hardened his heart and remained relentless in his determination to keep the children of Israel in bondage.
Exodus 8:15-19 records the complete account.
