Exodus 5:1-3

1And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, “1Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘2Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”

2But Pharaoh said, “3Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, 4I will not let Israel go.”

3Then they said, “5The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.”
