Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

8:16-19 The third plague was the plague of gnats. The word translated “gnats” is very general. Technical Old Testament dictionaries often translate it as “vermin.” The English term “bugs” would come close. The whole land was infested with insects of one sort or another.

Again, this is one action or motion, but it is described with the two verbs, stretched and struck, that occur throughout this section of plague judgment. See how you translated it in the [previous verse](../08/16.md).

This extraordinary statement with the repeated all is used to emphasize the extent and severity of the plague. If this would be unnatural in your language use a natural way to communicate that.
