Exodus 9:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ The ·ashes [soot] will spread like dust through all the land of Egypt. They will cause boils to break out and become sores on the skin of people and animals everywhere in the land [^Cperhaps skin anthrax].”

¹⁰ So Moses and Aaron took ·ashes [soot] from a ·furnace [kiln] and went and stood before ·the king [^LPharaoh]. Moses threw ·ashes [the soot; ^Lit] into the air, which caused boils to break out and become sores on people and animals. ¹¹ The ·magicians [sorcerers] could not stand before Moses, because all the Egyptians had boils, even the ·magicians [sorcerers].
