Exodus 9:1-7 - Plague Five: Livestock Death

¹ Then Jehovah said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, this is what Jehovah the God of the Hebrews says: Let my people go to serve me. ² If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them in slavery, ³ Jehovah will bring a terrible plague on your livestock, including your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep, and goats. ⁴ Jehovah will distinguish between Israel's livestock and the livestock of the Egyptians. The animals belonging to the Israelites will not die.' ⁵ Jehovah set a definite time: I, Jehovah, choose tomorrow as the time when I will do this. ⁶ The next day Jehovah did as he had said. The Egyptian's animals all died. Not one of the animals of the Israelites died. ⁷ The king asked what had happened. He was told that none of the animals of the Israelites had died. He was stubborn and would not let the people go.
