Exodus 8:25-27

New Life Version

²⁵ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Go and give a gift in worship to your God here in the land.” ²⁶ But Moses said, “It is not right to do this. For the Egyptians hate what we would give in worship to the Lord our God. If the Egyptians see us giving this gift and doing what they think is sinful, will they not throw stones at us? ²⁷ We must travel three days to the desert and give a gift in worship to the Lord our God, as He tells us to do.”
