Contextual Overview

²⁰ The Lord told Moses, "Get up early in the morning, and meet the king of Egypt as he goes out to the river. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go so they can worship me. ²¹ If you don't let them go, I will send swarms of flies into your houses. The flies will be on you, your officers, and your people. The houses of Egypt will be full of flies, and they will be all over the ground, too. ²² But I will not treat the Israelites the same as the Egyptian people. There will not be any flies in the land of Goshen, where my people live. By this you will know that I, the Lord , am in this land. ²³ I will treat my people differently from your people. This miracle will happen tomorrow.'" ²⁴ So the Lord did as he had said, and great swarms of flies came into the king's palace and his officers' houses. All over Egypt flies were ruining the land. ²⁵ The king called for Moses and Aaron and told them, "Offer sacrifices to your God here in this country." ²⁶ But Moses said, "It wouldn't be right to do that, because the Egyptians hate the sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God. If they see us offering sacrifices they hate, they will throw stones at us and kill us. ²⁷ Let us make a three-day journey into the desert. We must offer sacrifices to the Lord our God there, as the Lord told us to do." ²⁸ The king said, "I will let you go so that you may offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the desert, but you must not go very far away. Now go and pray for me." ²⁹ Moses said, "I will leave and pray to the Lord , and he will take the flies away from you, your officers, and your people tomorrow. But do not try to trick us again. Do not stop the people from going to offer sacrifices to the Lord ."

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

three days': Exodus 3:18, Exodus 5:1

as he shall: Exodus 3:12, Exodus 10:26, Exodus 34:11, Leviticus 10:1, Matthew 28:20

Gill's Notes on the Bible

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness,.... As was first insisted on, and from which demand they should not depart:

and sacrifice unto the Lord our God, as he shall command us; both what sacrifices shall be offered, and the manner in which they shall be done, both which seemed for the present in a good measure undetermined and unknown; and therefore it was possible, and very probable, that in one or the other they should give offence to the Egyptians, should they sacrifice among them, being at all events resolved to do as the Lord should command them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Three days’ journey - See the Exodus 3:18 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 8:27. And sacrifice to the Lord - as he shall command us. — It is very likely that neither Moses nor Aaron knew as yet in what manner God would be worshipped; and they expected to receive a direct revelation from him relative to this subject, when they should come into the wilderness.
