Exodus 8:11

Nile

9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”

10 “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”

12 After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.

13 And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
