Exodus 10:25 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 10:25

And Moses said, thou must give us also sacrifices and
burnt offerings
Sheep, rams, and goats for sacrifices, and oxen for burnt offerings; and that of his own, as Jarchi interprets it; but rather the meaning is, that besides having their little ones with them, they must be allowed also to take their cattle for sacrifices and burnt offerings: that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God;
might have wherewith to offer up in sacrifice to him as he shall require.

Exodus 10:25 In-Context

23 Nobody could see anybody. For three days no one could so much as move. Except for the Israelites: they had light where they were living.
24 Pharaoh called in Moses: "Go and worship God. Leave your flocks and herds behind. But go ahead and take your children."
25 But Moses said, "You have to let us take our sacrificial animals and offerings with us so we can sacrifice them in worship to our God.
26 Our livestock has to go with us with not a hoof left behind; they are part of the worship of our God. And we don't know just what will be needed until we get there."
27 But God kept Pharaoh stubborn as ever. He wouldn't agree to release them.
