Exodus 8:24-26
International Standard Version
24 The Lord did this, and dense swarms of insects came into the house of Pharaoh and into the houses of his servants. The land was ruined throughout[a] Egypt because of the swarms of insects. 25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, offer sacrifices to your God in the land.”
26 “It wouldn’t be right to sacrifice in this way,”[b] Moses replied, “because if we do,[c] we will sacrifice to the Lord our God what is offensive to the Egyptians.[d] If we offer sacrifices that are offensive to the Egyptians[e] in front of them, they’ll stone us, won’t they?
