Plague of boils

The plague of boils is the judgment of certain gods of health and disease (Sekhmet, Sunu, and Isis). This time, the Bible says that the magicians “could not stand before Moses because of boils.” - terrible and painful boils appeared on all the Egyptians and their livestock. The pain was so bad that when the Egyptian witches tried to stand before Moses, they couldn't. Clearly, these religious leaders were powerless before the God of Israel.

This plague is perhaps the most terrifying of the plagues of Ancient Egypt. The plague of boils caused the people of Egypt to develop terrible boils all over their bodies. The pain must have been unbearable. The Egyptians were not the only ones who suffered, as Egyptian animals also suffered from boils. There are many pimples and blemishes on the body of humans and animals. Many shamans and witches also find it challenging to get up because their whole body has painful sores and pimples. Therefore, the Egyptians became numb and blistered from the same source of suffering for the Jews as God's retribution. The plague of boils really plagued the country, forcing people to lie in their beds. But even a painful bout of sores wasn't enough to change the Egyptian king's mind.
