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 They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Then Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve the LORD ; only let your flocks and your herds be detained. Even your little ones may go with you."
25 But Moses said, "You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice them to the LORD our God.
26 "Therefore, 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 ."
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he was not willing to let them go.
