וְהִנֵּ֗ה
and=see/lo/see!
Again, behold is used to draw attention to surprising information that follows. Alternate translation: “and listen”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
לֹא־מֵ֛ת מִמִּקְנֵ֥ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַד־אֶחָ֑ד
not dead of,livestock 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,hardened heart Farˊoh
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. Alternate translation: “But Pharaoh was defiant”
9:1-7 The fifth plague was against the livestock. As with the withholding of flies from the area where the Hebrews lived (8:22-23), the distinction between the livestock of the Israelites and that of the Egyptians (9:4) shows that a natural explanation of this event is insufficient, even if the previous plagues contributed. The Egyptians, like many in the ancient Near East, worshiped the ram, the goat, and the bull as representing power and fertility. These animals had no power before the Lord, in whom true power resides.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
