the magicians: Exodus 7:11

they could: Exodus 9:11, Genesis 41:8, Isaiah 19:12, Isaiah 47:12, Isaiah 47:13, Daniel 2:10, Daniel 2:11, Daniel 4:7, Daniel 5:8, Luke 10:18, 2 Timothy 3:8, 2 Timothy 3:9

Reciprocal: Exodus 7:12 - but Aaron's Micah 3:7 - the seers Acts 8:9 - used 2 Thessalonians 2:9 - and signs Revelation 13:13 - he doeth

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the magicians did so with their enchantments, to bring forth lice,.... They made use of their magical art, and juggling tricks they were masters of, to produce the like sort of creatures, or at least to make such appear, or seem to appear, to the eyes of men:

but they could not; God would not suffer them to do it, to impose upon Pharaoh, and deceive him and the Egyptians any longer; and a stop is put to them, when such small and despicable creatures were produced, the more to put them to shame and confusion, and to show that what they did before was not real, and that what they did in appearance was only by divine permission;

so there were lice upon man and upon beast; these lay in great numbers on both, biting and distressing them in a most terrible manner; for as the magicians could not produce such creatures, it was not in their power to remove them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 8:18. The magicians did so — That is, They tried the utmost of their skill, either to produce these insects or to remove this plague; but they could not, no juggling could avail here, because insects must be produced which would stick to and infix themselves in man and beast, which no kind of trick could possibly imitate; and to remove them, as some would translate the passage, was to their power equally impossible. If the magicians even acted by spiritual agents, we find from this case that these agents had assigned limits, beyond which they could not go; for every agent in the universe is acting under the direction or control of the Almighty.
