²⁴ Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go,^(A) worship the Lord. Even your women and children^(B) may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.”^(C)

We have to use some of them in worshiping the Lord our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the Lord.”
