Éxodo 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:18

And the magicians did so with their enchantments, to bring
forth lice
They made use of their magical art, and juggling tricks they were masters of, to produce the like sort of creatures, or at least to make such appear, or seem to appear, to the eyes of men:

but they could not;
God would not suffer them to do it, to impose upon Pharaoh, and deceive him and the Egyptians any longer; and a stop is put to them, when such small and despicable creatures were produced, the more to put them to shame and confusion, and to show that what they did before was not real, and that what they did in appearance was only by divine permission;

so there were lice upon man and upon beast;
these lay in great numbers on both, biting and distressing them in a most terrible manner; for as the magicians could not produce such creatures, it was not in their power to remove them.

Éxodo 8:18 In-Context

16 Entonces el SE脩OR dijo a Mois茅s: Di a Aar贸n: Extiende tu vara, y hiere el polvo de la tierra, para que se vuelva piojos por toda la tierra de Egipto.
17 Y ellos lo hicieron as铆; y Aar贸n extendi贸 su mano con su vara, e hiri贸 el polvo de la tierra, el cual se volvi贸 piojos, as铆 en los hombres como en las bestias; todo el polvo de la tierra se volvi贸 piojos en toda la tierra de Egipto.
18 Y los encantadores hicieron as铆 tambi茅n, para sacar piojos con sus encantamientos; mas no pudieron. Y hab铆a piojos as铆 en los hombres como en las bestias.
19 Entonces los magos dijeron al Fara贸n: Dedo de Dios es 茅ste. Mas el coraz贸n del Fara贸n se endureci贸, y no los escuch贸; como el SE脩OR lo hab铆a dicho.
20 Y el SE脩OR dijo a Mois茅s: Lev谩ntate de ma帽ana y ponte delante del Fara贸n, he aqu铆 茅l sale a las aguas; y dile: El SE脩OR ha dicho as铆: Deja ir a mi pueblo, para que me sirva.
