Exodus 9:1-7
"THEN THE Lord said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh and tell him, Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
If you refuse to let them go and still hold them,
Behold, the hand of the Lord [will fall] upon your livestock which are out in the field, upon the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds and the flocks; there shall be a very severe plague.
But the Lord shall make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the Israelites.
And the Lord set a time, saying, Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.
And the Lord did that the next day, and all [kinds of] the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the Israelites not one died.
Pharaoh sent to find out, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened [his mind was set] and he did not let the people go."
The story of what happened prior to The Children of Israel's leaving the land of Egypt, was found some, in this first part of Exodus 9:1-7.
Moses was asked by God Jehovah, to go tell the Pharaoh let My People go. This present day king did not have any relationship with God or His people, but did know Moses. So, to get understanding of God... Stuff happens to let a distinction between God, His People, and all those who aren't His people.
God Said; "Tomorrow I Will do this in the land."
The next day all the livestock in Egypt had a plaque hit it with death. The king ran over to see if it hit Israel's livestock. Not a one was touched....
Pharaoh didn't change his mind, and still became hard hearted...
