About this sheet

The fourth plague affected only the lands of Egypt and not those where the Hebrews lived in Goshen. The swarm of flies was unbearable and this time Pharoah agreed to allow the people to go into the desert, with restrictions, to make sacrifices to God.

This print originates from 'Biblia Sacra, dat is, de H. Schriftuer van het Oude, en het Nieuwe Testament, naer de laetste Roomsche keure der gemeine Latijnsche overzettinge, in nederduitsch vertaeld (...)' Utrecht, Hermanus Besseling, 1743.
