Exodus 9:11

Moses

9 It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10 So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.

The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all 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.

13 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
