Plague 3: Lice

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Readers’ Version

Literal Version 

8:16 Plague 3: Lice

16Then Yahweh said to Mosheh, “Tell Aharon: Stretch out your staff and strike the dust on the ground, and it will turn into lice[fn] all over Egypt.” 17So Aharon held out his staff and struck the dust with it, and the dust became lice on the people and on the animals. All over Egypt, the dust turned into lice 18and the sorcerers tried to do the same with their magic but they were unable to. So there were lice on people and animals 19and the magicians said to Far’oh, “This is God’s finger.” But Far’oh was stubborn and he didn’t listen to them, just as Yahweh had said previously.[ref]


8:16 The Hebrew word ‘כֵּן/כִּנִּם’ (kēn/kinnim) could refer to either lice, gnats, or fleas. However, unlike lice, gnats don’t usually reside on people and animals (which seems to be implied by the text).


16[fn] and_he/it_said YHWH to Mosheh rise_early in/on/at/with_morning and_present to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Farˊoh there [he_is]_going_out the_water_to and_say to_him/it thus he_says YHWH let_go people_my and_worship_me.
17[fn] if/because if not_you [are]_letting_go DOM people_my see_I [am]_about_to_send in/on/at/with_you and_in/on/at/with_officials_your and_in/on/at/with_people_your and_in/on/at/with_houses_your DOM the_swarms_of_flies and_full the_houses of_Miʦrayim DOM the_flies and_also the_soil which they on_her.
18[fn] and_set_apart in/on/at/with_day (the)_that DOM the_land of_Goshen which people_my [is]_standing on/upon_it(f) to_not to_be there a_swarm so_that you_may_know if/because_that I YHWH in/on/at/with_midst the_earth/land.
19[fn] and_make a_ransom between people_my and_between people_your on_tomorrow it_will_happen the_sign the_this.
