Exodus 8:25-27

New International Version

²⁵ Then Pharaoh summoned^(A) 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.^(B) And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us? ²⁷ We must take a three-day journey^(C) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices^(D) to the Lord our God, as he commands us.”
