Plague of livestock

Plagues of Ancient Egypt, the plague of livestock, is a judgment on the goddess Hathor and the god Apis, both depicted as cattle. As with the plague that preceded it, God protected His people from the plague, while the Egyptians' livestock died. God is slowly destroying Egypt's economy while showing His ability to protect and provide for those who obey Him. Pharaoh even sent investigators (Exodus 9:7) to find out if the Israelites suffered along with the Egyptians, but the result was heartbreaking. He was against the hardline Israelites.

The plague of livestock killed all domestic animals in Egypt. In biblical times, people's livelihoods would depend on their animals, and so this plague would be especially devastating. To add to the grief of the Egyptians, they had to see the Israelites' animals unharmed while they dug their own graves. The plague struck many of the animal gods of Egypt, this time its attacks mainly on cattle and animal gods. At that time in Egypt, most of the gods were in the form of some animal and were worshiped in the temples of Egypt. Of particular importance is the cow goddess Hathor, this daughter of Ra is called "the mother of the pharaoh". And also here, at different times, the Egyptians once worshiped a living bull named Apis, representing the famous god Apis, "son of Hathor" and the embodiment of the Pharaoh himself. At that time, when the Bible said that "all animals died" implying that the bull Apis, the representative god, also died at this time, this was a fatal blow to the Pharaoh.
