The Third Plague of Egypt, by William de Brailes, illustrates the flies, or gnats, rising from the dust.

This page from Walters manuscript W.106 depicts a scene from Exodus, in which God rained plagues upon Egypt. After plagues of blood and frogs, Pharaoh hardened his heart again and would not let the Israelites leave Egypt. God told Moses to tell Aaron to stretch forth his rod and strike the dust of the earth that it may become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. Here, Moses, horned (a sign of his encounter with divinity), carries the rod, while Aaron, wearing the miter of a priest, stands behind him. The gnats arise en masse out of the dust from which they were made and attack Pharaoh, seated and crowned, and his retinue.

8, 9...fue inaugurado en el cargo de sumo sacerdote de Israel. En ese papel, Aarón representa al Señor en cuanto al Bien Divino, y Moisés representa al Señor en cuanto a la Verdad Divina. Aarón era el hermano de Moisés. Él simboliza dos cosas, una durante la primera parte del éxodo, cuando era el portavoz de Moisés, y otra después de que se construyera el Tabernáculo y fuera inaugurado como sumo sacerdote. En la primera parte de la historia, Moisés representa la Palabra tal como es en realidad, tal como se entiende en el cielo, y Aarón representa la Palabra en su sentido externo tal como es entendida en el mundo por las personas. Por eso habla en nombre de Moisés y el Señor dice de él "será como una boca para ti, y tú serás para él como Dios". (Éxodo 4:16).

5414. 'And the sons of Israel came to buy in the midst of others who came' means the wish to acquire spiritual truths, like all other truths, through factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons of Israel' as spiritual truths (for 'sons' are truths, see above in 5403, and 'Israel' is the celestial-spiritual man coming out of the natural, 4286, 4570, 4598, so that 'the sons of Israel' are spiritual truths within the natural); from the meaning of 'buying' as being acquired; and from the meaning of 'in the midst of others who came' as like all other truths, that is to say, ones acquired through factual knowledge.
