Exodus 8:18-19

¹⁸And the magicians with their enchantments practiced in like manner, to bring forth sciniphs, and they could not and there were sciniphs as well on men as on beasts.

¹⁹And the magicians said to Pharao This is the finger of God. And Pharao heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had commanded.a

In Exodus 8, God intensifies the plagues upon Egypt, demonstrating His sovereign power over creation and Pharaoh's hardened heart. Moses and Aaron bring forth plagues of frogs, gnats, and flies, each escalating in severity and impact. Pharaoh repeatedly promises to let the Israelites go, only to renege once the immediate threat is removed, revealing his stubborn defiance against the Lord. This chapter vividly illustrates the ongoing spiritual battle between God's will and human resistance, setting the stage for greater judgments to come.
