Exodus 8:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ And Moses said: It cannot be so: for we shall sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God: now if we kill those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.

²⁷ We will go three days' journey into the wilderness: and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.

²⁸ And Pharao said: I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness: but go no farther: pray for me.
