24The Lord did so, and great swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his officials houses; in all of Egypt the land was ruined because of the flies. 25Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God within the land. 26But Moses said, It would not be right to do so; for the sacrifices that we offer to the Lord our God are offensive to the Egyptians. If we offer in the sight of the Egyptians sacrifices that are offensive to them, will they not stone us? 27We must go a three days journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as he commands us. 28So Pharaoh said, I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness, provided you do not go very far away. Pray for me.
