7410.出埃及记8:11-15.法老见自己又能呼吸了，就使心发沉，不肯听他们，正如耶和华所说的。耶和华对摩西说，你对亚伦说，伸出你的杖击打地上的尘土，使尘土在埃及全地变作虱子。他们就这样行，亚伦伸出拿杖的手击打地上的尘土，就在人身上和牲畜身上有了虱子；这地的一切尘土在埃及全地都变成了虱子。术士们也用邪术照样行，要生出虱子来，却是不能。于是在人身上和牲畜身上都有了虱子。术士们就对法老说，这是神的手指。法老的心刚硬，不肯听他们，正如耶和华所说的。

7410. Verses 11-15. And Pharaoh saw that there was breathing, and he made heavy his heart, and heard them not, as Jehovah had spoken. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, and it shall become lice in all the land of Egypt. And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the land, and there was louse on man and on beast; all the dust of the land became louse in all the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, to bring forth lice, and they could not; and there was louse on man and on beast. And the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God; and Pharaoh's heart was made firm, and he heard them not, as Jehovah had spoken.

All the dust of the land became lice in the whole land of Egypt. And the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not; and there were lice on man and on beast. And the magicians said to Pharaoh, The finger of God is this.
