Exodus 9:9

Verse 9

9. And it shall become small dust The ashes shall scatter in a fine powder, the grains of ashes being exceedingly small, and easily blown abroad .

A boil breaking forth Literally, a hot, burning sore, breaking forth into pustules . In previous plagues the water had been made their enemy, the dust of the earth had been changed to vermin, their wealth in the fields had been smitten, and now the strength and pride of their cities are cursed . The temples and treasure cities are cursed in the plague that is scattered from the ashes of the lime-kiln . It is the unrequited toil of Israel’s multitudes upon these vast public works that now burns and fevers man and beast through all Egypt .
