²² “‘But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen,^(A) where my people live;^(B) no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know^(C) that I, the Lord, am in this land.

⁴ But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt,^(A) so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”

¹⁸ And you will again see the distinction between the righteous^(A) and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.^(B)

²³ No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.^(A)

⁶ And the next day the Lord did it: All the livestock^(A) of the Egyptians died,^(B) but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.

¹³ The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over^(A) you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.^(B)

⁶ There will be loud wailing^(A) throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again. ⁷ But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction^(B) between Egypt and Israel.

²⁹ Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands^(A) in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth^(B) is the Lord’s.
