Exodus 9:1-7

New King James Version

The Fifth Plague: Livestock Diseased

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may ^(B)serve Me. ²For if you ^(C)refuse to let them go, and still hold them, ³behold, the ^(D)hand of the Lord will be on your cattle in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep—a very severe pestilence. ⁴And ^(E)the Lord will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt. So nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.” ’ ” ⁵Then the Lord appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”

⁶So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and ^(F)all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died. ⁷Then Pharaoh sent, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead. But the ^(G)heart of Pharaoh became hard, and he did not let the people go.

Young's Literal Translation

9 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, and thou hast spoken unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Send My people away, and they serve me,

²for, if thou art refusing to send away, and art still keeping hold upon them,

³lo, the hand of Jehovah is on thy cattle which [are] in the field, on horses, on asses, on camels, on herd, and on flock -- a pestilence very grievous.

⁴`And Jehovah hath separated between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there doth not die a thing of all the sons of Israel's;

⁵and Jehovah setteth an appointed time, saying, To-morrow doth Jehovah do this thing in the land.'

⁶And Jehovah doth this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt die, and of the cattle of the sons of Israel not one hath died;

⁷and Pharaoh sendeth, and lo, not even one of the cattle of Israel hath died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he hath not sent the people away.

Egyptian Livestock Die

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and speak to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews says: “^(A)Let My people go, so that they may serve Me. ²For ^(B)if you refuse to let them go and ^[a]continue to hold them, ³behold, ^(C)the hand of the Lord ^[b]will come with a very severe plague on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks. ⁴^(D)But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that ^(E)nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.”’” ⁵And the Lord set a definite time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.” ⁶So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and ^(F)all the livestock of Egypt died; ^(G)but not one of the livestock of the sons of Israel died. ⁷And Pharaoh sent men, and they learned that, behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But ^(H)the heart of Pharaoh was ^[c]hardened, and he did not let the people go.
