1
And it came to pass that after the death of the cattle of Egypt, and Pharaoh would not let the people of Israel go, that Moses did cry again unto YHVHa.
2
YHVH said unto Moses and unto Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace;
3
And Aaron shall speak unto Pharaoh, saying: Thus saith YHVH: Let my people go, that they may serve me;
4
And because thou has broken thy word, and thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I send boils upon the people of Egypt, that they shall know that YHVH, Elohima of the Hebrews, is Lordb over all.
5
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.
6
And then, let Moses sprinkle the ashes toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
7
¶ And it came to pass that they took ashes of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh;
8
And Aaron spoke unto Pharaoh, saying: Thus saith YHVH: Let my people go, that they may serve me!
9
And YHVH sayeth further: Because thou has broken thy word, and thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I send boils upon the people of Egypt,
10
And now thy people shall know that YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews, is Lord over all.
11
And Moses sprinkled the ashes up toward heaven; and it became a boil, breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast.
12
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh sent for his sorcerersa, and his magiciansb, and commanded that they show unto the Hebrews the strength of Pharaoh, for Israel knew not the blains except to see that Egypt suffered.
13
But the sorcerers, and magicians, these could not cursed Israel, nor could they remove their cursing that YHVH had dealt them through Moses, the propheta of YHVH;
14
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians.
15
And Pharaoh hardened his heart, and he hearkened not unto them, even as YHVH had spoken unto Moses.
