Contextual Overview
1 Then the Lord told Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him: "The Lord , the God of the Hebrews, says, ‘Let my people go to worship me!' 2 If you continue to hold them and refuse to let them go, 3 then the Lord will use his power against your animals in the fields. He will cause all of your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, and sheep to get sick with a terrible disease. 4 But the Lord will treat Israel's animals differently from the animals of Egypt. None of the animals that belong to the Israelites will die. 5 The Lord has set the time for this to happen. He said, ‘Tomorrow the Lord will make this happen in this country.'" 6 The next morning the Lord did what he said. All the farm animals of the Egyptians died, but none of the animals that belonged to the Israelites died. 7 Pharaoh sent people to see if any of the animals of Israel died. Not one of them died. But Pharaoh remained stubborn and did not let the people go.
