Contradictions (1)

Questions where the Bible appears to say two different things, with the passages on each side set together.

  • Did God kill all the Egyptian cattle in the sixth plague?

    Exodus 9:3-6 (the fifth plague, the murrain — the question's "sixth" is wrong) says "all the cattle of Egypt died." Three verses later at Exodus 9:19, God is warning Egyptians to bring their cattle and servants indoors because hail is coming and what's left in the field will die.
