Exodus 9:5-6

Context

9:5 The Lord set 1  an appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this 2  in the land.” 9:6 And the Lord did this 3  on the next day; 4  all 5  the livestock of the Egyptians 6  died, but of the Israelites’ livestock not one died.

1 tn Heb “and Yahweh set.”

2 tn Heb “this thing.”

3 tn Heb “this thing.”

4 tn Heb “on the morrow.”

5 tn The word “all” clearly does not mean “all” in the exclusive sense, because subsequent plagues involve cattle. The word must denote such a large number that whatever was left was insignificant for the economy. It could also be taken to mean “all [kinds of] livestock died.”

6 tn Heb “of Egypt.” The place is put by metonymy for the inhabitants.
