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 9:3

The hand of the Lord - Immediately, without the stretching out of Aaron's hand, is upon the cattle, many of which, some of all kinds, shall die by a sort of pestilence. The hand of God is to be acknowledged even in the sickness and death of cattle, or other damage sustained in them; for a sparrow falls not to the ground without our father. And his providence is to be acknowledged with thankfulness in the life of the cattle, for he preserveth man and beast, Psalms 36:6.
