• PLA006 The fifth plague: the death of the livestock

    The fifth plague of Egypt, addressed in this article, demonstrates divine power through the death of the livestock, a pillar of the economy. It underscores the distinction between Israel and Egypt, despite the hardening of Pharaoh. This judgment amplifies the demonstration of God's sovereignty, while sparing the flocks of the Israelites.

    Exodus 9.5-7 (King James Version) :
    And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.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.And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
