1
And it came to pass that YHVHa said unto Moses: Go in unto Pharaoh and tell him, Thus saith YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me!
2
For if thou refuse to let them go and wilt hold them still, behold, the hand of YHVH is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep; there shall be a very grievous murraina.
3
And YHVH shall sever between the herds of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to Israel.
4
And it came to pass that YHVH appointed a set time, saying: Tomorrow YHVH shall send Mal’akh Ha’Maveta to do this thing in the land.
5
¶ And it came to pass that on the morrow that YHVH did send Mal’akh Ha’Mavet to do that thing, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but none of the cattle of Israel did die, yea not even one from among them.
6
And Pharaoh sent his servants out among the Hebrews to report; and behold! They saw that there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead.
7
And Pharaoh was angered, the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
