Exodus 8:26 in Context — Exodus 8
24 E o SENHOR o fez assim: veio toda variedade de moscas incômodas sobre a casa de Faraó, e sobre as casas de seus servos, e sobre toda a terra do Egito; e a terra foi contaminada por causa delas.
25 Então Faraó chamou a Moisés e a Arão, e disse-lhes: Andai, sacrificai a vosso Deus nesta terra.
26 E Moisés respondeu: Não convém que façamos assim, porque sacrificaríamos ao SENHOR nosso Deus a abominação dos egípcios. Eis que, se sacrificássemos a abominação dos egípcios diante deles, não nos apedrejariam?
27 Caminho de três dias iremos pelo deserto, e sacrificaremos ao SENHOR nosso Deus, como ele nos dirá.
28 E disse Faraó: Eu vos deixarei ir para que sacrifiqueis ao SENHOR vosso Deus no deserto, contanto que não vades mais longe; orai por mim.
