Exodus 9:11
“The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.”
What does Exodus 9:11 mean?
When God sent the plague of boils across Egypt, even Pharaoh's own magicians—the ones he relied on to counter Moses' signs—were struck down along with everyone else. They couldn't show up to perform their tricks or offer their counsel because they were suffering just as badly as the ordinary people. This moment marks a turning point where the magicians' power becomes irrelevant, and Pharaoh loses his trusted advisors at the very moment he needs them most. It's a quiet but powerful detail showing that no human influence or expertise can stand against God's will.
