1 Then the LORD said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and tell him: Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to serve me. 2 For if you refuse to let them go and persist in holding them, 3 the hand of the LORD will strike your livestock in the field—your horses, donkeys, camels, herds and flocks—with a very severe pestilence. 4 But the LORD will distinguish between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that nothing belonging to the Israelites will die. 5 And the LORD set a definite time, saying: Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land. 6 And on the next day the LORD did it. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. Exodus 9:1-6, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
