Scripture Post #1,793: *BOILS*

Exodus 9:

10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

GOD plagued Egypt with *BOILS*, showing His majestic sovereignty. This was the 6th wonder/plague the LORD performed over the land of Egypt. Eventually, GOD would convince Egypt who the true and mighty GOD really was.

Context:

Ex. 9:8: "And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh."

V. 9: "And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt."

V. 10: "And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast."

V. 11: "And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians."

V. 12: "And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses."
