Exodus 9
1. The plague on livestock
8. The plague of boils
13. The message of Moses about the hail,
22. The plague of hail
27. Pharaoh pleads with Moses, but yet is hardened














And the next day the LORD did just that.
This phrase highlights the immediacy and certainty of God's actions. In the context of the plagues, it underscores God's sovereignty and power over creation. The plagues were a direct challenge to the Egyptian gods, demonstrating that the God of Israel was the true God. This phrase also emphasizes the fulfillment of God's word, as He had previously warned Pharaoh through Moses about the impending plague on the livestock.

All the livestock of the Egyptians died,
This part of the verse indicates the severity of the plague. The death of all Egyptian livestock would have had devastating economic and social impacts, as livestock were essential for agriculture, transportation, and religious sacrifices. This plague specifically targeted the Egyptians, further demonstrating God's ability to distinguish between His people and their oppressors. The death of the livestock can also be seen as a judgment against the Egyptian god Apis, who was depicted as a bull and symbolized fertility and strength.

but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
This phrase highlights the divine protection over the Israelites, showcasing God's covenant faithfulness. It serves as a sign of distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites, reinforcing the theme of God's chosen people. This protection is a precursor to the Passover, where God would again distinguish between the Israelites and Egyptians. The preservation of Israelite livestock also ensured that they had the necessary resources for their journey out of Egypt and for future sacrifices to God. This distinction is a type of Christ, who provides salvation and protection to those who belong to Him.
