Exodus 8:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 And the Lord did this. Thick swarms of flies went into Pharaoh’s palace and his officials’ houses. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies.(A) 25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go sacrifice to your God within the country.”
26 But Moses said, “It would not be right[a] to do that, because what we will sacrifice to the Lord our God is detestable to the Egyptians.(B) If we sacrifice what the Egyptians detest in front of them, won’t they stone us?
