Context of Exodus 9:5

3then the hand of the Lord will surely bring a very terrible plague on your livestock in the field, on the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks. 4But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and nothing will die of all that the Israelites have.”’” The Lord set an appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.” 6And the Lord did this on the next day; all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but of the Israelites’ livestock not one died. 7Pharaoh sent representatives to investigate, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of Israel had died. But Pharaoh’s heart remained hard, and he did not release the people.
