Exodus 8:25-29

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 ^aabomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice offerings ^babominable to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us? 27 We must go ^cthree days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God ^das 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. ^ePlead for me.” 29 Then Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you and I will plead with the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh ^fcheat again by not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”
