Exodus 10:9Easy To Read VersionMoses answered, “All of our people, young and old, will go. And we will take our sons and daughters, and our sheep and cattle with us. We will all go because the Lord’s feast is for all of us.” See the chapter |
“The elders (leaders) will listen to you. And then you and the elders (leaders) will go to the king of Egypt. You will tell him that ‘YAHWEH [26] is the God of the Hebrew [27] people. Our God came to us and told us to travel three days into the desert. There we must offer sacrifices [28] to YAHWEH our God.’
Then Aaron and Moses said, “The God of the Hebrew [42] people has talked with us. So we beg you to let us travel three days into the desert. There we will offer a sacrifice [43] to the Lord our God. If we don’t do this, he might become angry and destroy us. He might make us die from sickness or war.”
“But maybe you don’t want to serve the Lord. You must choose for yourselves today. Today you must decide who you will serve. Will you serve the gods that your ancestors worshiped when they lived on the other side of the Euphrates River? Or will you serve the gods of the Amorite people that lived in this land? You must choose for yourselves. But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord!”
