Exodus 8 : More miracles by the Lord
Plague 2 : Frogs everywhere
Since the king doesn't yield yet, the Lord asks Aaron to hold his stick over the waters of Nile, the pools and canals. Aaron does as the Lord said and frogs come out of everywhere. The whole of Egypt is filled with frogs and frustrate people a lot.
The king tells Moses to pray to the Lord and end the misery. He says he will let the people go if Moses got rid of the frogs. Moses prays to God and gets rid of the frogs.
The king is happy that the frogs are gone but still doesn't release the Israelites.
Plague 3 : Destruction by gnats
Then the Lord tells Moses to tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. Aaron does as he is told and all the dust in Egypt turned into gnats and it covers the people and the animals. The magicians in the kings court try to make the gnats go away but they cannot. But the king does not still relent.
Plague 4 : Destruction by flies
The next day, Lord sends great swarms of flies into the king's palace and the houses of his officials. The whole land of Egypt is brought to ruin by the flies.
The king asks Moses to pray for the Egyptians. Moses goes to the desert and prays for them and God takes the curse of the flies away from them.
Even then, the king's mind does not change.
