The common gathering on the flesh, attended with inflammation, which the Hebrew word shechin implies. The boils were doubtless malignant when sent as a plague in Egypt, Exodus 9:9-11; and they were severe in the case of Job when smitten by Satan. Job 2:7 . Hezekiah's boil was apparently of an aggravated type, though a lump of figs was blessed to his recovery. 2 Kings 20:7; Isaiah 38:21 . See also Leviticus 13:18-23 .
