Chp. 8 verse 15 - 28 Chp. 9 verses 1 - 12: The magicians of Egypt admit that the lice are the finger of Hashem. Pharaoh stills hardens his heart. Then Moshe warns him about the fourth plague, wild animals. This makes Pharaoh concede to letting the Jews bring sacrifices to Hashem but only in Egypt. Moshe insists on a three day trip into the wilderness. Pharaoh finally agrees and Moshe prays the animals are removed, but Pharaoh hardens his heart once again. Chp. 9, Moshe warns Pharaoh and his people about the fifth plague, pestilence, that would effect all their animals. Once again Pharaoh refuses to let the people go. Then Hashem tells Moshe that he should bring the sixth plague of boils on Egypt in front of Pharaoh but without any warning. The magicians are unable to even appear before Pharaoh because of their affliction. Hashem hardens Pharaoh's heart and he still does not free the people.
