Exodus 9:1-7

1Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord God of the Hebrews says: Let my people go to worship me.

2If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them ⌞in slavery⌟,

3the Lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock, including your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep, and goats.

4But the Lord will distinguish between Israel’s livestock and the livestock of the Egyptians. No animals belonging to the Israelites will die.’ ”

5The Lord set a definite time. He said, “Tomorrow I will do this.”

6The next day the Lord did as he said. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but none of the Israelites’ animals died.

7Pharaoh found out that not one of the Israelites’ animals had died. Yet, Pharaoh continued to be stubborn and would not let the people go.
