Question: What was the third plague brought upon Egypt by Moses?
Answer: Lice. (Exodus 8:18)
Comments: The third plague that waylaid Egypt was kinim, translated most commonly as "Gnats" (CEV, ESV, HCSB, Message, NASB, NIV, NLT, NRSV, RSV) or "Lice" (AV, KJV, NKJV). God instructs Moses to have Aaron strike at the dust with his staff, which results in a mass of gnats/lice that the Egyptians could not get dispose of.
They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats through all the land of Egypt. (Exodus 8:17, NASB)
The plague of lice was the third of ten plagues brought upon Egypt. It was the first which Pharoah's magicians could not replicate.
