Exodus 15:26

And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

What 'were' these diseases really? (Refering to the OT).:confused
--
What 'are' they today? (Still upon the Egyptians?). Are they stilll effective.:dunno
 
The passage says ...

"I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians"


What were the diseases brought upon the Egyptians?


This passage speaks of one - namely boils


Exodus 9:9
And it will become fine dust in all the land of Egypt, and it will cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt



But this passage says not every sickness and disease are recorded...


Deuteronomy 28:61
Moreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.





As to whether the diseases are still effective, I believe Galatians 3:13 has taken care of that -- "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law."
 
"boils that break out in sores on man and beast"

How about Cowpox?

Is there a doctor in the house?
 
9And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.

<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1713">2</sup>And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: <sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1714">3</sup>And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1715">4</sup>And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants


<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1727">16</sup>And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. <sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1728">17</sup>And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1732">21</sup>Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.



Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. .
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1750">7</sup>And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1751">8</sup>And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.



<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1753">10</sup>And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.


<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1761">18</sup>Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1762">19</sup>Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1763">20</sup>He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1764">21</sup>And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1765">22</sup>And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1766">23</sup>And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1767">24</sup>So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1768">25</sup>And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1769">26</sup>Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1770">27</sup>

1And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. <sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1800">22</sup>And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1801">23</sup>They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.



<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1811">4</sup>And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-1812">5</sup>And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
