24[Day 26] Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship YHVH. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
25But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to YHVH our Elohim. 26Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship YHVH our Elohim, and we will not know how we are to worship YHVH until we arrive.”
27But YHVH hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go. 28“Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
29“As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
