D. THE CATTLE PESTILENCE AND THE BOILS

Then the Lord said unto Moses, "Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, 'Thus

saith the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may

serve me. For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field,

upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and

upon the flocks: there shall be a very grievous pestilence. And the

Lord shall separate between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of

Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children

of Israel.'"

And on the morrow all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the

children of Israel died not one.

And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, "Take handfuls of ashes,

and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. And

it shall become small dust over 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."
