Exodus 10:21-26

21Then the Lord said to Moses, “1Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness 2which may be felt.”

22So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was 3thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.

23They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, 4but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

24Then Pharaoh 5called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be detained. Even 6your little ones may go with you.”

25But Moses said, “You must also 7let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may 8sacrifice them to the Lord our God.

269Therefore, our livestock too shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we shall take some of them to serve the Lord our God. And until we arrive there, we ourselves do not know with what we shall serve the Lord.”
