In Exodus 9:9 and Exodus 9:10, the common feminine plural form occurs in the announced and enacted result of kiln soot: an outbreak affecting people and animals. In Exodus 9:9 the APB renders the resulting condition as "boils breaking out in blisters," and Exodus 9:10 presents the same outcome after Moses scatters the soot.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Exodus 9:9 and Exodus 9:10, the APB presents the condition as "boils breaking out in blisters." That wording describes the clause's outcome rather than isolating a precise English equivalent for the term.
