"Pharaoh said,“I will release you so that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness. Only you must not go very far. Do pray for me.”"
— Exodus 8:28, NET Bible
“And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.”
“And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me. ”
“Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."”
“And Pharao said: I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness, but go no farther: pray for me.”
“Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.”
“And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.”
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said,“Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.”
But Moses said,“That would not be the right thing to do, for the sacrifices we make to the LORD our God would be an abomination to the Egyptians. If we make sacrifices that are an abomination to the Egyptians right before their eyes, will they not stone us?
We must go on a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God, just as he is telling us.”
Pharaoh said,“I will release you so that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness. Only you must not go very far. Do pray for me.”
Moses said,“I am going to go out from you and pray to the LORD, and the swarms of flies will go away from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only do not let Pharaoh deal falsely again by not releasing the people to sacrifice to the LORD.”
So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
and the LORD did as Moses asked– he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained!
