9. Moses answered, “With our young and old we must go; with our sons and daughters, with our flocks and herds we must go. It is a pilgrimage feast of the Lord for us.”
10. “The Lord help you,” Pharaoh replied, “if I let your little ones go with you! Clearly, you have some evil in mind.
11. By no means! Just you men go and serve the Lord. After all, that is what you have been asking for.” With that they were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
