What did God say he would do for the land of Goshen during the plague of flies?
God said He would sever, or set apart, the land of Goshen where the Israelites were dwelling in that day. He promised that no swarms of flies would be there, distinguishing His people from the Egyptians so Pharaoh would know.
Les explains that God told Moses and Aaron—and they would repeat it to Pharaoh—that He would sever in that day. Evidently the first two or three plagues struck the Jew as well as the Egyptian, but beginning with this plague God set apart the land of Goshen wherein the Israelites were dwelling, in which His people dwell. No swarms of flies would be there, to the end that Pharaoh might know.
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
From which plague did God begin to set apart the land of Goshen?
God began to set apart the land of Goshen at the plague of flies, or swarms of insects. The first two or three plagues struck both Jew and Egyptian, but beginning with this plague God severed Goshen, promising no swarms of flies there.
What did God do to protect the Israelites starting with the fly plague?
Beginning with the fly plague, God set apart the land of Goshen where Israel dwelt, decreeing no swarms of flies would enter it. He drew an invisible line around Goshen, putting a division between His covenant people and Egypt as a sign that He is the Lord.
