Exodus 8:20-22

Tree of Life Version

²⁰ Adonai did just so. A massive swarm of flies went into the house of Pharaoh and into his servant’s houses. All the land of Egypt was ruined because of the swarm of flies.

²¹ So Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Go! Sacrifice to your God—in the land.”

²² But Moses said, “That would not be right. For the offerings we intend to sacrifice to Adonai our God are an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice what is an abomination to the Egyptians, wouldn’t they stone us?
