1. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2. For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
3. behold, the Lord’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4. The Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5. The Lord appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land.”
6. The Lord did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
7. Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.
8. The Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
9. It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”
10. They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up towards the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking on man and on animal.
11. The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
