Background Reading:
The Plague of Boils
9:8 Then the LORD told Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a kiln, and let Moses throw it into the air in front of Pharaoh. 9 The soot will become dust over the entire land of Egypt, and it will become boils erupting into sores on people and animals throughout the land of Egypt.”
10 So they took soot from the kiln and stood before Pharaoh. Then Moses threw it into the air, and it became boils producing running sores on people and animals. 11 The magicians were not able to stand before Moses because of the boils, because the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians. 12 The LORD made Pharaoh’s heart stubbornh so that he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had told Moses.
