1 Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may worship me.’
2 If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back,
3 the hand of the Lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field – on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats.
4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.” ’
5 The Lord set a time and said, ‘Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.’
6 And the next day the Lord did it: all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
