Exodus 10:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ So Moses and Aaron were brought back to the king, and he said to them, “You may go and worship the Lord your God. But exactly who will go?”

⁹ Moses answered, “We will all go, including our children and our old people. We will take our sons and daughters, our sheep and goats, and our cattle, because we must hold a festival to honor the Lord.”

¹⁰ The king said, “I swear by the Lord that I will never let you take your women and children! It is clear that you are plotting to revolt.
