8:23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
8:25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.division Heb. peduth, trans. "reemption."
Psalms 111:9 ; 130:7 . It is, in type, Galatians 6:14 .
8:28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.in the land
The compromises proposed by Pharaoh are those urged upon Christians today. The first says in effect: "Be a Christian if you will, but not a 'narrow' one-- stay in Egypt." Invariably it ends in world-conformity, world-pleasing, and seeking the world's money for God Psalms 50:9-17 (Cf) ; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 ; Galatians 1:4 .
very far The second compromise is a modification merely of the first. "Do not be too unwordly." Cf. 1 Samuel 15:3 1 Samuel 15:9 1 Samuel 15:13-15 1 Samuel 15:19-23 .
