The Fifth and Sixth Plague: Distressed Animals and Boils 3 '21

Today we again combined two plagues into one day to insure we talked about all ten plagues before the holiday ended.

Our Fifth Plague involved hand modeling an edible representation of a sick  Egyptian Lamb.  

I used seasoned ground lamb for the face and ears, ground chicken for the wooly bangs, sliced olives for the eyes and nose, and a slice of red pepper for the tongue, then baked the entire patty in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes.

I served it on a bed of backed potato hash browns, slices of fresh veggie with homemade tzatzikisauce .

It wasn't quite as visually appealing as I thought it would be, but it tasted good and made the point. 

For the Sixth Plague, I served homemade babba-ganoush,  and hummus as sauces with teaspoons of palmetto-cheese and /or hot sauce and matzah bread as a mid-day snack.

Pestilence of livestock: Ex. 9:1–7

This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, the hand of the LORD will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses and donkeys and camels and on your cattle and sheep and goats.

— Exodus 9:1–3

 Boils: Ex. 9:8–12

The Sixth Plague: Miniature out of the Toggenburg Bible (Switzerland) of 1411

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land."

— Exodus 9:8–9
