Bible Question: in exodus chap 9 God sent a plague on the livestock and in verse 6 it says that all the livestock died ....then later in chapter 9 God sends hail and in verse 20 says that they still had livestock ......so i am wondering over the course of all the plagues how much time was lapsed...years months etc |
Bible Answer: 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 |
