Exodus 9:1-7

The Plague of Dying Egyptian Livestock

9Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Come to Pharaoh and speak to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, “aLet My people go, that they may serve Me. 2For aif you refuse to let them go and 1continue to hold them, 3behold, athe hand of Yahweh 1will come with a very heavy pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks. 4aBut Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that bnothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.”’” 5Yahweh also set a definite time, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh will do this thing in the land.” 6So Yahweh did this thing on the next day, and aall the livestock of Egypt died; bbut of the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died. 7And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not even one of the livestock of Israel dead. But athe heart of Pharaoh was 1hardened with firmness, and he did not let the people go.
