¹⁸ The soothsayer priests tried with their secret arts to produce ^[a]gnats, but ^(A)they could not; so there were ^[b]gnats on every person and animal.

^11 (A)The soothsayer priests could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the soothsayer priests as well as on all the Egyptians.
