It had now been a couple of months since the swarms of Kin•im. Mosh•ëh had already received reports of a couple of cases of Dëvër. So he knew this outbreak had begun.

So é‑‑ä had revealed to Mosh•ëh that time was critical again to come see Par•oh again and tell him: "Thus says é‑‑ä, ël•oh•im of the Ha•biru:

'Send forth My am that they may work for Me! If you refuse to send them forth, continuing to hold them in your grip, look, the Hand of é‑‑ä is now already upon your livestock-property in the field; upon your horses, upon your donkeys, upon your camels, upon your cattle and upon your tzon – a severe epidemic of Dëvër.

Moreover, é‑‑ä shall sequestrate the livestock-property of Yi•sᵊr•â•eil from the livestock-property of Mi•tzᵊrayim. No livestock belonging to Yi•sᵊr•â•eil shall die.' "

Then é‑‑ä set a deadline, saying,

"é‑‑ä shall do this tomorrow – in ërëtz Mi•tzᵊrayim, not shën!"

And so é‑‑ä did exactly that the very next day. All of the livestock-property that died belonged to Mi•tzᵊrayim. Not one of the livestock-property of Yi•sᵊr•â•eil died!

Par•oh sent forth scouts to report back on the livestock deaths in shën – not one!

But, yet again, this only goaded the arrogant-defiance harbored in Par•oh's heart, who did not send forth the am.

Optional parental preparation:

  2. What is a pustule?

Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:
