008:031 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms
of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people.
There remained not one.
008:032 Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn't let
the people go.
009:001 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him,
'This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says:
"Let my people go, that they may serve me.
009:002 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
009:003 behold, the hand of Yahweh is on your livestock which are
in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels,
on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
009:004 Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel
and the livestock of Egypt; and there shall nothing die
of all that belongs to the children of Israel."'"
009:005 Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow Yahweh shall
do this thing in the land."
009:006 Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock
of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel,

009:011 The magicians couldn't stand before Moses because of the boils;
for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
