Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ So ^(A)I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of ^(B)the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land ^(C)flowing with milk and honey.”’ ^18 (D)And they will listen to your voice; and ^(E)you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt, and you all will say to him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, please, let us go a ^(F)three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.’ ¹⁹ But I know that the king of Egypt ^(G)will not give you permission to go, ^(H)except by a strong hand.
