24. Then Pharaoh sent for Moses. He said to him, "Go. Worship the Lord. Even your women and children can go with you. Just leave your flocks and herds behind."
25. But Moses said, "You must allow us to take animals to offer as sacrifices and burnt offerings to the Lord our God.
26. Our livestock must also go with us. We have to use some of them to worship the Lord our God. We can't leave even one animal behind. Until we get there, we won't know what we are supposed to use to worship the Lord."
27. But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart stubborn. So he wouldn't let the people go.
28. Pharaoh said to Moses, "Get out of my sight! Make sure you don't come to see me again! If you do, you will die."
