And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
The next day, the LORD did exactly what He said He would do. All the livestock in Egypt died, but not a single animal belonging to the Israelites died.
God followed through on His promise, destroying Egypt's livestock while miraculously protecting every animal that belonged to His people.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, God is demonstrating His power through a series of plagues on Egypt to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. This specific plague, the fifth one, targeted the livestock of the Egyptians, causing all their cattle to die as a divine judgment, while miraculously sparing the animals of the Israelites. This event underscores God's authority to protect His chosen people and differentiate them from their oppressors.
