Exodus 9:6

Context
NETBible

And the Lord did this 1  on the next day; 2  all 3  the livestock of the Egyptians 4  died, but of the Israelites’ livestock not one died.

XREF

Ex 9:19,25; Ps 78:48,50

NET © Notes

tn Heb “this thing.”

tn Heb “on the morrow.”

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.”

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