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 No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt, there was light.
24 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain, let your children go with you.
25 Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt-offerings, to the Lord our God.
26 All the flocks shall go with us; there shall not a hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very place.
27 And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he would not let them go.
