New Defender's Study Bible Notes

14:9 all the horses. The fact that Egyptians still had many horses in spite of the fact that all of “the cattle of Egypt died” in the plague (Exodus 9:6) seems at first to be a contradiction. However, the account refers merely to “thy cattle which is in the field” (Exodus 9:3); no doubt “the horses and chariots of Pharaoh” were kept in the palatial stables. It is also possible that the term “cattle” did not include the horses. In any case, there is no necessary contradiction.
