Exodus 8:26-28

English Standard Version

²⁶ But Moses said, “It would not be right to do so, for the offerings we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God are an ^(A)abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice offerings ^(B)abominable to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us? ²⁷ We must go ^(C)three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God ^(D)as he tells us.” ²⁸ So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you must not go very far away. ^(E)Plead for me.”
