The transformation of ashes into fine dust symbolizes the divine power and judgment of God over the Egyptian land. The use of dust is significant, as it recalls the creation of man from dust in <a href="/genesis/2-7.htm">Genesis 2:7</a>, highlighting God's authority over life and creation. The land of Egypt, a powerful and advanced civilization, is shown to be vulnerable to God's will, emphasizing His supremacy over all nations.<p><b>and festering boils will break out on man and beast</b><br>The boils represent a direct attack on the health and well-being of both humans and animals, demonstrating the comprehensive nature of God's judgment. This plague would have caused significant distress and disruption, as boils are painful and debilitating. The inclusion of both man and beast indicates the widespread impact of the plague, affecting all aspects of Egyptian society. This affliction can be seen as a direct challenge to the Egyptian gods associated with health and medicine, such as Imhotep and Sekhmet, showing their impotence in the face of the God of Israel.<p><b>throughout the land.</b><br>The phrase underscores the totality of the plague's reach, affecting every corner of Egypt. This widespread impact serves to further demonstrate God's power and the seriousness of His demands for the release of the Israelites. The comprehensive nature of the plague also foreshadows the finality of God's judgment, as seen in the ultimate deliverance of His people and the destruction of the Egyptian army in the Red Sea. The plagues collectively serve as a type of the final judgment, pointing to the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ, who provides salvation from the bondage of sin.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses_and_aaron.htm">Moses and Aaron</a></b><br>The leaders chosen by God to confront Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Rather, "It shall be as dust." No physical change is intended by the expression used, but simply that the "soot" or "ash" should be spread by the air throughout all Egypt, as dust was wont to be spread. <span class="cmt_word">And shall be a boil breaking forth with blains</span>. Literally, "an inflammation, begetting pustules." The description would apply to almost any eruptive disease. The attempts definitely to determine what exactly the malady was, seem to be futile - more especially as diseases are continually changing their forms, and a malady which belongs to the fourteenth or fifteenth century before our era is almost certain to have been different from any now prevalent. The word "blains" - now obsolete as a separate word - appears in "chilblains." <span class="cmt_sub_title">Ver 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The furnace</span>. It is perhaps not very important what kind of "furnace" is meant. But the point has been seriously debated. Some suppose a furnace for the consumption of victims, human or other; some a baking oven, or cooking stove; others a furnace for smelting metal; others again a limekiln. The ordinary meaning of the word used, <span class="accented">kibshon</span>, is a "brick-kiln;" but bricks were not often baked in Egypt. Nor is it at all clear that any victims were ever consumed in furnaces. Probably either a brick-kiln or a furnace for the smelting of metals is meant. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/9-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">It will become</span><br /><span class="heb">וְהָיָ֣ה</span> <span class="translit">(wə·hā·yāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
