The Fifth Plague: Livestock Diseased

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may bserve Me.  
2 For if you arefuse to let them go, and still hold them,  
3 behold, the ahand of the Lord will be on your cattle in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep—a very severe pestilence.  
4 And athe Lord will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt. So nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.” ’ ”  
5 Then the Lord appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”
6 So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and aall the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.  
7 Then Pharaoh sent, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead. But the aheart of Pharaoh became hard, and he did not let the people go.

Exodus 9:1

The Lord God of the Hebrews - It is very likely that the term Lord, Yehovah , is used here to point out particularly his eternal power and Godhead; and that the term God, Elohey , is intended to be understood in the sense of Supporter, Defender, Protector, etc. Thus saith the self-existent, omnipotent, and eternal Being, the Supporter and Defender of the Hebrews, "Let my people go, that they may worship me."
