Bible Question: Exodus 9:6 states All the livestock of the Egyptians Died". How then in Verses 10, 19, and 25 can the plagues affect the Egyptian animals. |
Bible Answer: As verse 6 states, all the cattle of the Egyptians DID die, but there were cattle left which belonged to the sons of Israel. The Egyptians begged, bought or stole some of those, which then became Egyptian cattle (verse 19). How the animals were transferred is less important than the fact that the Egyptians were still trying to get around God's judgments. To prevent them from doing that again, God sent hail which would kill any people, animals or plants outside (verse 25). This included not just livestock, but also wild animals which they could possibly hunt for food as the word "beasts" shows. Verses 20-21 indicate that some of the Egyptians took the warning seriously and got their animals inside with them despite what Pharoah wanted. This act of faith saved them. The warning of God was an opportunity for faith to anyone who listened, not just His people. |
