Exodus 8:25-27

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God here in this country.”

²⁶ Moses replied, “It wouldn’t be right to do that. The sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God are disgusting to Egyptians. If they see us offer sacrifices that they consider disgusting, won’t they stone us to death? ²⁷ We need to travel three days into the desert to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, as he told us to do.”
