Fifth Plague:The Pestilence.
1
Then the LORD said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and tell him: Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to serve me.
2
For if you refuse to let them go and persist in holding them,
3
the hand of the LORD will strike your livestock in the field-your horses, donkeys, camels, herds and flocks-with a very severe pestilence.
4
But the LORD will distinguish between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that nothing belonging to the Israelites will die.
5
And the LORD set a definite time, saying: Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.
6
And on the next day the LORD did it. All the livestock of the Egyptians died,a but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7
But although Pharaoh found upon inquiry that not even so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites had died, he remained obstinate and would not let the people go.
Sixth Plague: The Boils.
8
So the LORD said to Moses and Aaron: Each of you take handfuls of soot from a kiln, and in the presence of Pharaoh let Moses scatter it toward the sky.
9
It will turn into fine dust over the whole land of Egypt and cause festering boils* on human being and beast alike throughout the land of Egypt.
10
So they took the soot from a kiln and appeared before Pharaoh. When Moses scattered it toward the sky, it caused festering boils on human being and beast alike.
11
Because of the boils the magicians could not stand in Moses’ presence, for there were boils on the magicians as well as on the rest of the Egyptians.
12
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
