⁴ But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that the Israelites own will die.”

⁷ But against all the Israelites, whether people or animals, not even a dog will snarl,^[a] so that you may know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

¹³ The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a distinguishing mark for you; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will be among you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
