לֹא־מֵ֛ת מִ⁠מִּקְנֵ֥ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַד־אֶחָ֑ד

not dead any,of_the_livestock_of Yisrael until one(ms)

Here the author uses a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: [every single one of the Israelites’ livestock was alive]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

Yisrael

Here, Israel refers to the Israelites. Alternate translation: [of the Israelites]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

Yisrael

Here, Israel is a collective singular noun. If your language would not refer to a group of people in this way, you may need to translate it as plural. Alternate translation: [the Israelites]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּכְבַּד֙ לֵ֣ב פַּרְעֹ֔ה

and,it_was_unresponsive heart_of Parˊoh

Pharaoh’s stubborn attitude is spoken of as if his heart were heavy. If the heart is not the body part your culture uses to refer to a person’s will, consider using whichever organ your culture would use for this image. This is a neutral statement (it does not say that anyone caused him to be stubborn as many others in this part of the narrative do). See how you translated this in [Exodus 7:14](../07/14.md). Alternate translation: [But Pharaoh was defiant]
