Exodus 8:24

²²And Moses said, It cannot be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.

²³We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.

— Exodus 8:24 —

²⁵And Moses said, I then will go forth from thee and pray to God, and the dog fly shall depart both from thy servants, and from thy people tomorrow. Do not thou, Pharaoh, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.

²⁶And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.
