The third and fourth plagues come on Egypt as first gnats and then flies that take over the country. The magicians of Pharaoh are unable to duplicate this miracle and tell Pharaoh it is evidence of God's mighty power. God makes a clear distinction between the Egyptians and Israel. Israel belongs to God and these judgments have no affect on them in Goshen. Pharaoh tries to negotiate with Moses but finally relents to let the people go if Moses will pray to God for relief. As soon as the flies were gone, he changed his mind. God doesn't negotiate with tyrants for the freedom of His people.
