Exodus 3:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ “They shall listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you must say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews has met with us. Therefore, now, let us go, we ask you, three days’ journey into the wilderness so that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ ¹⁹ However, I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even under a forceful hand. ²⁰ So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will perform in its midst, and after that he will let you go.
