Commentary

Commentary on Exodus 9:6

Theological / Devotional

All the cattle of Egypt. That is, all that were in the field (v. 3). At the time of the next plague many of the Egyptians still possessed animals (v. 19). The fact that many Egyptians brought their cattle in indicates how deeply they had been impressed by the power of God and the catastrophes that followed each other in quick succession.

Died not one. On the distinction between Israelites and Egyptians see ch. 8:22.
