Exodus 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:1

Then the Lord said unto Moses
The same day the plague of the flies was removed: go in unto Pharaoh
boldly, without any fear of him or his court: and tell him, thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews:
speak in the name of Jehovah, the God whom the Hebrews worship, and who owns them for his people, and has a special love for them, and takes a special care of them, and is not ashamed to be called their God, as poor and as oppressed as they be: let my people go,
that they may serve me; this demand had been often made, and, though so reasonable, was refused.

Exodus 9:1 In-Context

1 God said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'God, the God of the Hebrews, says: Release my people so they can worship me.

2 If you refuse to release them and continue to hold on to them,

3 I'm giving you fair warning: God will come down hard on your livestock out in the fields - horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep - striking them with a severe disease.

4 God will draw a sharp line between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt. Not one animal that belongs to the Israelites will die.'"

5 Then God set the time: "Tomorrow God will do this thing."
