7 Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: 'How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?'
8 And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: 'Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?'
9 Moses said: 'We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.'
10 And Pharaoh responded: 'So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
11 It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.' And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
