Exodus 8:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 And Moses answered, It is not meet to do so: for then we should offer unto the Lord our God that, which is an [a]abomination unto the Egyptians. Lo, can we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and they not stone us?
27 Let us go three days’ journey in the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God, (A)as he hath commanded us.
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice unto the Lord your God in the wilderness: but [b]go not far away, pray for me.

The sacrifices we offer the Lord our God would be detestable to the Egyptians.(A) And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us? 27 We must take a three-day journey(B) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices(C) to the Lord our God, as he commands us.”
28 Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray(D) for me.”
