Exodus 8:26-28
New American Standard Bible
26 But Moses said, “It is not permissible for us to do so, because we will sacrifice to the Lord our God [a]that which is (A)an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice [b]that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us? 27 We must go a (B)three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as He [c]commands us.” 28 Pharaoh said, “(C)I will let you go, so that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. (D)Plead for me.”

26 But Moses said, “That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the Lord our God would be detestable to the Egyptians.(A) And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us? 27 We must take a three-day journey(B) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices(C) to the Lord our God, as he commands us.”
28 Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray(D) for me.”
