Hello abbey, I will wait with you to see if anyone knows the time span of the plagues as I don't have time tonight to research it. But while we're waiting, consider this. On the first account in chapter 9, notice that the plague only killed the livestock of the Egyptians. Not a single livestock of the Hebrew people was killed in the plague. Remember that the Hebrews were slaves of the Egyptions. It is possible (though not specified) that the Egyptions simply helped themselves to the livestock of the God's people. Just a thought, Jeff |

God's day to you, Jeff ... Do you know where Israel got their livestock? They came as shepherds (Gen 47:3). Searcher | ||||||

Hello Searcher, No, the thought has never crossed my mind until now. The assumption would be that when they were taken into captivity, their livestock was part of the plunder that was also taken. There would, after all, be a need to keep the slaves fed. What better way than their own livestock that they know how to manage. Of course, the Egyptians would help themselves as needed; which would support my earlier response speculating that, the mention of livestock soon after the dieing of all of Egypt's stock, may have resulted from their taking from the Hebrews for their own need. Interesting to think through these sideline points. God Bless, Jeff |
