5. The Lord set a definite time. He said, “Tomorrow I will do this.”
6. The next day the Lord did as he said. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but none of the Israelites’ animals died.
7. Pharaoh found out that not one of the Israelites’ animals had died. Yet, Pharaoh continued to be stubborn and would not let the people go.
8. Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take a handful of ashes from a kiln, and have Moses throw them up in the air as Pharaoh watches.
9. They will become a fine dust throughout Egypt. The dust will cause boils to break into open sores on people and animals throughout Egypt.”
10. They took ashes from a kiln and stood in front of Pharaoh. Moses threw the ashes up in the air, and they caused boils to break into open sores on people and animals.
11. The magicians couldn’t compete with Moses because they had boils like all the other Egyptians.
