Éxodo 8:28 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:28

And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to
the Lord your God in the wilderness
He does not say three days, though as he allowed them to go into the wilderness and sacrifice, they could not go and come again in less time; nor would Moses have accepted of the grant, as it seems by what follows he had, if he had obliged them to less time: only you shall not go very far away;
his meaning is, as Aben Ezra observes, that they should go no further than three days' journey; he was jealous that this was only an excuse to get entirely out of his dominions, and never return more. He might have heard of their claim to the land of Canaan, and of their talk, and hope, and expectation, of going and settling there; and so understood this motion of theirs, to have leave to go into the wilderness for three days, to sacrifice to the Lord, was only a pretence; that their real intention was to proceed on in their journey to Canaan; however, being in this great distress, he made as if he was willing to grant what they desired, and very importunately urged they would pray he might be delivered from this plague: entreat for me;
the words seem to be spoken in haste, and with great eagerness and vehemence.

Éxodo 8:28 In-Context

26 Pero Mois茅s respondi贸: No conviene que lo hagamos as铆, porque es abominaci贸n para los egipcios lo que sacrificaremos al SE脩OR nuestro Dios. Si sacrificamos lo que es abominaci贸n para los egipcios delante de sus ojos, 驴no nos apedrear谩n?
27 Andaremos una distancia de tres d铆as de camino en el desierto, y ofreceremos sacrificios al SE脩OR nuestro Dios, tal como El nos manda.
28 Y Fara贸n dijo: Os dejar茅 ir para que ofrezc谩is sacrificio al SE脩OR vuestro Dios en el desierto, s贸lo que no vay谩is muy lejos. Orad por m铆.
29 Entonces dijo Mois茅s: He aqu铆, voy a salir de tu presencia y rogar茅 al SE脩OR que los enjambres de insectos se alejen ma帽ana de Fara贸n, de sus siervos y de su pueblo; pero que Fara贸n no vuelva a obrar con enga帽o, no dejando ir al pueblo a ofrecer sacrificios al SE脩OR.
30 Y sali贸 Mois茅s de la presencia de Fara贸n y or贸 al SE脩OR.
