Exodus 8:25-27

The Voice

Pharaoh: Go and sacrifice to your God. But you must stay here in the land.

Moses: ²⁶ It would not be right to do what you ask, for our manner of offering sacrifices to the Eternal our God is deeply offensive to the Egyptians. If we offend them with these sacrifices, will they not stone us? ²⁷ No. We must travel for three days into the desert and sacrifice to the Eternal our God, just as He has asked us to do.
