Exodus 9:6

9:6 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.

[9:6]  ¹ tn Heb “this thing.”

[9:6]  ² tn Heb “on the morrow.”

[9:6]  ³ 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.”

[9:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “of Egypt.” The place is put by metonymy for the inhabitants.
