Contextual Overview

²¹ Then the Lord told Moses, "Raise your hand toward the sky, and darkness will cover the land of Egypt. It will be so dark you will be able to feel it." ²² Moses raised his hand toward the sky, and total darkness was everywhere in Egypt for three days. ²³ No one could see anyone else, and no one could go anywhere for three days. But the Israelites had light where they lived. ²⁴ Again the king of Egypt called for Moses. He said, "All of you may go and worship the Lord . You may take your women and children with you, but you must leave your flocks and herds here." ²⁵ Moses said, "You must let us have animals to use as sacrifices and burnt offerings, because we have to offer them to the Lord our God. ²⁶ So we must take our animals with us; not a hoof will be left behind. We have to use some of the animals to worship the Lord our God. We won't know exactly what we will need to worship the Lord until we get there." ²⁷ But the Lord made the king stubborn again, so he refused to let them go. ²⁸ Then he told Moses, "Get out of here, and don't come again! The next time you see me, you will die." ²⁹ Then Moses told the king, "I'll do what you say. I will not come to see you again."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Our cattle also shall go with us,.... Of every kind, of the flocks and of the herds:

there shall not an hoof be left behind; not a single creature that has an hoof: it is a proverbial expression, signifying that they should carry all that belonged to them with them:

for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; something of every kind and sort, all they had being devoted to his service, and to be yielded to him upon demand:

and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither; into the wilderness; they knew not exactly and precisely what kind of creatures or how many of them, as Aben Ezra observes, they were to offer at a time; for though before this there was a known distinction between clean and unclean creatures, and the various offerings and sacrifices of the patriarchs might in a good measure direct them in the use of them; yet the special and peculiar laws about sacrifices were not given until after their deliverance, and they were got into the wilderness; so that this was not a bare pretence to get their cattle along with them, but was the true case and real matter of fact.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 10:26. We know not with what we must serve the Lord, c. — The law was not yet given the ordinances concerning the different kinds of sacrifices and offerings not known. What kind and what number of animals God should require to be sacrificed, even Moses himself could not as yet tell. He therefore very properly insists on taking the whole of their herds with them, and not leaving even one hoof behind.
