Contextual Overview
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to the heavens so that darkness may be on the land of Egypt, and one may feel darkness. 22 And Moses stretched out his hand to the heavens, and darkness of gloom was in all the land of Egypt three days. 23 They did not see each one his brother, and they did not rise up, each one from his place for three days. Yet to all the sons of Israel there was light in their dwellings. 24 And Pharaoh called to Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah. Only leave your flocks and your herds behind. Your little ones may go with you. 25 And Moses said, You must also give into our hands sacrifices and burnt offerings so that we may prepare for Jehovah our God. 26 And also our livestock shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left. For we shall take from them to serve Jehovah our God. And we do not know with what we shall serve Jehovah until we come there. 27 And Jehovah made strong the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to send them away. 28 And Pharaoh said to him, Go away from me. Be careful for yourself. Do not see my face again, for in the day you see my face you shall die. 29 And Moses said, You have spoken rightly. I will not see your face again.
