Exodus 10:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 Pharaoh then summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, serve the Lord. Only your flocks and herds will be detained. Even your little ones may go with you.” 25 But Moses replied, “You also must give us sacrifices and burnt offerings to make to the Lord, our God. 26 Our livestock also must go with us. Not an animal must be left behind, for some of them we will select for service[a] to the Lord, our God; but we will not know with which ones we are to serve the Lord until we arrive there.”

- 10:26 Service: as is obvious from v. 25, the service in question here is the offering of sacrifice. The continued use of the verb ‘bd “to serve” and related nouns for both the people’s bondage in Egypt and their subsequent service to the Lord dramatizes the point of the conflict between Pharaoh and the God of Israel, who demands from the Israelites an attachment which is exclusive. See Lv 25:55.

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)
25 But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings(D) to present to the Lord our God. 26 Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. 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.”
