Exodus 8:25-28

25 Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.” 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 daysjourney 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.”
