Can you meditate on this word and share what you are learning by considering the proposal and alternatives that Pharaoh gave to the Israelite? What was the alternative that Moses choose? See verse Exodus 8:27
And Moses said, “To do so is not right, because we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God a thing detestable to the Egyptians. Look, if we sacrifice before their eyes the thing detestable to the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
- The alternative proposals from Pharaoh is for the Israelites to sacrifice In the land, which is against God's command፡ To be set apart . Going for 3 days into the wilderness. So, if the Israelites were to nake the sacrifice in the land it would be In disobedience to God's command. Therefore the point here is to do what God commands in complete obedience. The type of sacrifice tha Moses spoke of is reason enough only for Pharaoh to consider and not of primary importance.
