The sixth plague of Egypt, described in the Book of Exodus, was the plague of boils and sores, a painful skin disease that afflicted both the Egyptians and their livestock after Moses threw soot from a kiln into the air, causing it to become fine dust over the land. This plague rendered the Egyptian magicians unable to stand before Moses due to their own afflicted skin, highlighting the impotence of Egypt’s spiritual system, while the Israelites remained protected.
