1 The Lord sent Moses with this message for the king of Egypt:The Lord God of the Hebrews commands you to let his people go, so they can worship him.
2 If you keep refusing,
3 he will bring a terrible disease on your horses and donkeys, your camels and cattle, and your sheep and goats.
4 But the Lord will protect the animals that belong to the people of Israel, and none of theirs will die.
5 Tomorrow is the day the Lord has set to do this.
6 It happened the next day—all the animals belonging to the Egyptians died, but the Israelites did not lose even one.
7 When the king found out, he was still too stubborn to let the people go.
