Graphic Bible · Scene 3 of 12

Exodus 9:7-7. Not one had died. An unnamed Egyptian messenger sent to investigate stands at the edge of a living Israelite herd in Goshen. Messenger on left, deep brown skin and shaved head, plain clean white linen with a modest narrow bronze collar and simple sandals, no nemes or royal regalia. A bearded Hebrew herdsman on right in rough undyed tunic and muted brown shoulder cloth holds a wooden crook and gestures calmly toward healthy standing cattle and grazing sheep. The messenger studies the animals in surprise. Green-brown pasture, irrigation ditch, palms and low mudbrick huts, ordinary warm daylight. Every animal visibly alive and healthy, no dead animals, magic or glowing boundary. Dignified medium-wide composition, natural anatomy, hand-inked tactile gouache, no text. Bronze Age Exodus setting, not first-century staging. One 16:9 single scene. No text or lettering. — Artwork is an interpretation. Scripture is quoted from the People's Open Bible.
