Boil

Easton, 1897

(rendered "botch" in Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35), an aggravated ulcer, as in the case of Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:7; Isaiah 38:21) or of the Egyptians (Exodus 9:9, Exodus 9:10, Exodus 9:11; Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35). It designates the disease of Job (Job 2:7), which was probably the black leprosy.
