Exodus 8:22-28 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

22. And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land.

23. And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.

24. And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and into the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies.

25. And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.

26. And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?

27. We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God as he shall command us.

28. And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!
