Exodus 8:24-26

New International Version

²⁴ And the Lord did this. Dense swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials; throughout Egypt the land was ruined by the flies.^(A)

²⁵ Then Pharaoh summoned^(B) Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God here in the land.”

²⁶ But Moses said, “That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the Lord our God would be detestable to the Egyptians.^(C) And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us?
