SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:19
Entonces los magos dijeron al Faraón: Dedo de Dios es éste. Mas el corazón del Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó; como el SEÑOR lo había dicho.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 8:19
Verse 19. This is the finger of God] That is, The power and skill of God are here evident. Probably before this the magicians supposed Moses and Aaron to be conjurers, like themselves; but now they are convinced that no man could do these miracles which these holy men did, unless God were with him. God permits evil spirits to manifest themselves in a certain way, that men may see that there is a spiritual world, and be on their guard against seduction. He at the same time shows that all these agents are under his control, that men may have confidence in his goodness and power. THE FOURTH PLAGUE - FLIES
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-19 - These lice were produced out of the dust of the earth; out of any par of the creation God can fetch a scourge, with which to correct thos who rebel against him. Even the dust of the earth obeys him. These lic were very troublesome, as well as disgraceful to the Egyptians, whose priests were obliged to take much pains that no vermin ever should be found about them. All the plagues inflicted on the Egyptians, ha reference to their national crimes, or were rendered particularl severe by their customs. The magicians attempted to imitate it, but they could not. It forced them to confess, This is the finger of God The check and restraint put upon us, must needs be from a Divine power Sooner or later God will force even his enemies to acknowledge his ow power. Pharaoh, notwithstanding this, was more and more obstinate.
