Exodus 8:26-28

New American Standard Bible

²⁶ But Moses said, “It is not permissible for us to do so, because we will sacrifice to the Lord our God ^[a]that which is ^(A)an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice ^[b]that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us? ²⁷ We must go a ^(B)three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as He ^[c]commands us.” ²⁸ Pharaoh said, “^(C)I will let you go, so that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. ^(D)Plead for me.”
