Exo 9:1–7

9:1 Plague 5: The stock disease

9 Then Yahweh said to Mosheh (Moses), “Go in to Par’oh (Pharaoh) and tell him: ‘This is what the god of the Ivrim (Hebrews). Yahweh, says: Let my people go so they can serve me. 2 Certainly if you’re unwilling to release them and if you keep holding onto them, 3 then listen. Yahweh is about to inflict a very serious deadly disease onto your livestock which are in the fields—on the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the cattle, and on the flock. 4 But Yahweh will distinguish between the livestock of the Israelis and the Mitsrim (Egyptians)—none of the Israelis’ animals will die.’ ” 5 Then Yahweh said when it would happen, “Yahweh will do this to Mitsrayim (Egypt) tomorrow.”

6 So the next day Yahweh did what he’d said and all of the livestock of the Mitsrim died, yet none at all from the livestock of the Israelis died. 7 Par’oh sent people to investigate, and wow, not even one of the livestock of the Israelis had died. But Par’oh was strong-willed and wouldn’t let the people go.
