and caused their fish to die.#Ex 7:20–21

even in their royal chambers.#Ex 8:3,6

gnats throughout their country.#Ex 8:16–17

and lightning throughout their land.#Ex 9:23–25
33He struck their vines and fig trees
and shattered the trees of their territory.#Ps 78:47

young locusts without number.

all their first progeny.#Ex 12:29; 13:15; Ps 78:51

and gave a fire to light up the night.#Ex 13:21; Neh 9:12; Ps 78:14

and satisfied them with bread from heaven.#Ex 16:15; Ps 78:24

so that they might keep his statutes
and obey his instructions.#Dt 4:1,40; Ps 78:7
