Exodus 9:3-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. the Lord will send a very deadly disease on your livestock in the field: on horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, and flocks.

4. But the Lord will distinguish Israel’s livestock from Egypt’s livestock so that not one that belongs to the Israelites will die."

5. The Lord set a time and said, "Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land."

6. And the next day the Lord did it. All of the Egyptian livestock died, but not one animal that belonged to the Israelites died.

7. Pharaoh asked around and found out that not one of Israel’s livestock had died. But Pharaoh was stubborn, and he wouldn’t let the people go.

8. Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Take handfuls of ashes from a furnace and have Moses throw it up in the air in front of Pharaoh.

9. The ashes will turn to soot over the whole land of Egypt. It will cause skin sores that will break out in blisters on people and animals in the whole land of Egypt."

10. So they took ashes from the furnace, and they stood in front of Pharaoh. Moses threw the ash up in the air, and it caused skin sores and blisters to break out on people and animals.
