21 But if you will not let My people go, then I will send swarms of flies[a] against you, your officials, your people, and your houses. The Egyptians’ houses will swarm with flies, and so will the land where they live.[b] 22 But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people are living;(A) no flies will be there. This way you will know that I, Yahweh, am in the land. 23 I will make a distinction[c] between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.”

22 “‘But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen,(A) where my people live;(B) no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know(C) that I, the Lord, am in this land. 23 I will make a distinction[a] between my people and your people.(D) This sign will occur tomorrow.’”
