blānz ( אבעבּעה , 'ăbha‛bu‛āh ̌ : only in Exodus 9:9 , Exodus 9:10 ): Pustules containing fluid around a boil or inflamed sore. It is an Old English word "bleyen," used sometimes as a synonym for boil. Wyclif (1382) uses the expression "stinkende bleyne" for Job's sores. The Hebrew word is from a root which means that which bubbles up. See BOIL .
