Exodus 8:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 8:26

24 And the Lord did so. ^aThick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies.

25 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.”

26 And Moses said, “It is not right to do so, for we would be sacrificing ^athe abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. If we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, then will they not¹ stone us?

27 We will go ^athree days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as ^bHe will command us.”

28 So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. ^aIntercede for me.”
