And Moses answered: it is not mete so to do. For we must
offer unto the LORD our God, that which is an abomination unto the
Egyptians: behold shall we sacrifice that which is an abomination
unto the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone us?
we will therefore go three days' journey into the desert and
sacrifice unto the LORD our God as he hath commanded us. And
Pharao said: I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice unto the
LORD your God in the wilderness: only go not far away, and see
that ye pray for me. And Moses said: behold, I will go out from
thee and pray unto the LORD, and the flies shall depart from
Pharao and from his servants and from his people tomorrow. But let
Pharao from henceforth deceive no more, that he would not let the
people go to sacrifice unto the LORD. And Moses went out from
Pharao and prayed unto the LORD. And the LORD did as Moses had
said, and took away the flies from Pharao and from his servants
and from his people, so that there remained not one. But for all
that, Pharao hardened his heart even then also and would not let
the people go.
Chapter .ix.
And the LORD said unto Moses: go unto Pharao and tell him, thus
sayeth the LORD God of the Hebrews: send out my people that they
may serve me.
