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 People couldn't see each other, and no one went anywhere for three days. But all the Israelites had light where they were living.

24 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and said, "Go, worship the LORD! Even your women and children may go with you, but your flocks and herds must stay behind."

25 But Moses said, "You must allow us to take [our animals] for the sacrifices and burnt offerings we have to make to the LORD our God.

26 All our livestock must go with us. Not one animal must be left behind. We'll have to use some of them for worshiping the LORD our God, and we won't know what we'll need until we get there."

27 But the LORD made Pharaoh stubborn, so he refused to let them go.
