For the alternative emendation דֶּבֶר "pestilence" in place of the MT's בָּרָד, see Symmachus' τοῦ ἐκδόντος λοιμῷ τὰ κτὴνη αὐτῶν "giving their cattle to pestilence," along with a couple of Ηebrew manuscripts (see VTH, vol 4, 305; de-Rossi, Variae Lectiones, vol 4, 54.). This is, however, probably a harmonization with וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם לַדֶּ֥בֶר הִסְגִּֽיר in v. 50.
