Exodus 9:4

4 But the LORD will again make a distinction between the livestock of the Israelites and that of the Egyptians. Not a single one of Israel’s animals will die!

Exodus 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:4

And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the
cattle of Egypt
Make such a difference and distinction between them, that the murrain should not be on the one, when it was on the other, and which was a very marvellous thing; and especially in the land of Goshen, where the Egyptians had much cattle, and Pharaoh himself, see ( Genesis 47:6 ) and yet, though the cattle of Israel breathed in the same air, drank of the same water, and fed in the same pastures, they had not the murrain as the cattle of Egypt had; and the word here used signifies a marvellous separation, as has been observed on ( Exodus 7:22 ) : and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel;
not an horse, nor an ass, nor an ox, nor a sheep.

Exodus 9:4 In-Context

2 If you continue to hold them and refuse to let them go,

3 the hand of the LORD will strike all your livestock—your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep, and goats—with a deadly plague.

4 But the LORD will again make a distinction between the livestock of the Israelites and that of the Egyptians. Not a single one of Israel’s animals will die!

5 The LORD has already set the time for the plague to begin. He has declared that he will strike the land tomorrow.’”

6 And the LORD did just as he had said. The next morning all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but the Israelites didn’t lose a single animal.
