Exodus 8:21-23

Tree of Life Version

²¹ So Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Go! Sacrifice to your God—in the land.”

²² But Moses said, “That would not be right. For the offerings we intend to sacrifice to Adonai our God are an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice what is an abomination to the Egyptians, wouldn’t they stone us? ²³ We must walk a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to Adonai our God—just as He tells us.”
