Exodus 8:18

18But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not.

Since the gnats were on people and animals everywhere,

18The soothsayer priests tried with their secret arts to produce 8:18 Or licegnats, but they could not; so there were 8:18 Or licegnats on every person and animal.

18The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, but they could not; so there were gnats on man and beast.

18The magicians (soothsayer-priests) tried by their secret arts and enchantments to create gnats, but they could not; and there were gnats on man and animal.

18The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.

18The magicians tried to produce gnats by doing their magic tricks. But they couldn’t.

The gnats stayed on people and animals everywhere.
