BRAGADAYJAH 186

So then the blood was in the water, the frog and lice and flies, ticks were on man and beast, and now a new plague would come upon the king and the men and women and all the beasts of Egypt. For the Lord told Moses to this time take handfuls of ashes and waft it into the air in the sight of the Pharaoh and it shall descend on the earth and bring forth ulcers and boils in the flesh of both men and beast. This time, the magicians themselves could not stand to do their usual hocus pocus, because they too were too sore and pained to stand. And the affliction caused by the boils was very severe. But God did not intervene in the question of Pharaoh’s stubbornness and his disinclination to hearken to God. So his heart remained hardened towards God in the midst of his suffering and the suffering of his people. Accordingly, the Lord instructed Moses to rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and repeat the Lord’s command that he should let Israel go. This time, Moses told Pharaoh, the Lord is going to send all his plagues upon your heart, and the hearts of your servants and all the people of Egypt, so that if you do not know by now, you will know that He is the Lord and that there is none other like him. For thr Lord will smite your people with pestilence so severe your people shall be cut off from the rest of the people of the earth. The Lord wants me to tell you that he allows you to defy Him so that by the things He does to you, the rest of the world may know that He is the God of great and awesome power and that there is none like Him. Therefore tomorrow at this time of day, the Lord shall cause to rain down from heaven very grievous hail such as no one has ever seen before on all the earth. . If you want to save your cattle take them into your houses for hail and pestilence shall rain down from heaven tomorrow.
