2. Mosebok 9,7

5 Herren satte en bestemt tid og sa: «I morgen vil Herren utføre denne handlingen i landet.»

6 Og dagen etter gjorde Herren det: all egypternes buskap omkom, men ikke et eneste dyr som tilhørte israelittene døde.

Farao sendte menn for å undersøke og oppdaget at ikke ett av israelittenes buskap hadde dødd. Likevel forble faraos hjerte hardt, og han slapp ikke folket.

8 Da instruerte Herren Moses og Aron: «Ta håndfuller av sot fra en ovn, og la Moses kaste det opp i luften i faraos nærvær.

9 Det vil bli til fint støv over hele Egypts land, og forårsake byller som bryter ut med sår på mennesker og dyr over hele landet.»

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
