¶ The .ix. Chaptre.

And the Lord said unto Moses, goo unto Pharaoh and tell him, thus sayeth the Lord God of the Hebrews: send out my people that they may serve me. If thou wilt not let them goo but wilt hold them still: behold, the hand of the Lord shall be upon thy cattle which thou hast in the field upon horses asses, camels, oxen, and sheep, with a mighty great moraine. But the Lord shall make a division between the beasts of the Israelites, and the beasts of the Egyptians: so that there shall nothing dye of all that pertaineth to the children of Israel. And the Lord appointed a time saying: tomorrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land.

ANd the Lorde sayde vnto Moses, goo vnto Pharao and tell him, thus sayeth the Lorde God of the Ebrues: sende out my people that they maye serue me. Yf thou wilt not let them goo but wilt holde them styll: beholde, the hande of the Lorde shalbe apō thy catell which thou hast in the feld apon horses asses, camels, oxen, and shepe, with a mightye great morrayne. But the Lorde shall make a deuysion betwene the beestes of the Israhelites, ād the beestes of the Egiptias: so that there shal nothing dye of all that perteyneth to the children of Israel. And the Lorde appoynted a tyme saynge: tomorow the Lorde shall do this thinge in the londe.

And the Lord did the thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt dyed: but of the cattle of the children of Israel dyed not one. And Pharaoh sent to wit: but there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. Notwithstanding the heart of Pharaoh hardened, and he would not let the people goo.
