Exodus 8:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, do sacrifice unto your God in this land.
26 And Moses answered, It is not meet to do so: for then we should offer unto the Lord our God that, which is an [a]abomination unto the Egyptians. Lo, can we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and they not stone us?
27 Let us go three days’ journey in the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God, (A)as he hath commanded us.
