📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Exodus, God was using a series of plagues to demonstrate His power and compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, as the Egyptians had oppressed them for generations. The fourth plague involved swarms of flies that infested the land, tormenting the Egyptians but sparing the Israelites in Goshen, highlighting God's protection of His people. When Moses interceded on behalf of the Egyptians after Pharaoh's temporary promise to relent, God fulfilled His word by removing the flies completely.
