Exodus 10 — Context

Then Pharaoh sent for Moses, and said, Go and give worship to the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be kept here: your little ones may go with you.

But Moses said, You will have to let us take burned offerings to put before the Lord our God.

So our cattle will have to go with us, not one may be kept back; for they are needed for the worship of the Lord our God; we have no knowledge what offering we have to give till we come to the place.

But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not let them go.

And Pharaoh said to him, Go away from me, take care that you come not again before me; for the day when you see my face again will be your last.

And Moses said, You say truly; I will not see your face again.
