Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, serve the Lord – only your flocks and herds will be detained. Even your families may go with you.”

So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. Exactly who is going with you?”

“Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt that he must release the Israelites from his land.”

On this day, in the month of Abib, you are going out.

Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.”

And the Lord said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt,

and I said to you, ‘Let my son go that he may serve me,’ but since you have refused to let him go, I will surely kill your son, your firstborn!”’”

If he came in by himself he will go out by himself; if he had a wife when he came in, then his wife will go out with him.

So now go, lead the people to the place I have spoken to you about. See, my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish, I will indeed punish them for their sin.”

The Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders I have put under your control. But I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, and I might destroy you on the way.”

But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, not even under force.

So now go, and I will be with your mouth and will teach you what you must say.”

And Moses said to him, “If your presence does not go with us, do not take us up from here.

Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, and with our sheep and our cattle we will go, because we are to hold a pilgrim feast for the Lord.”

But if you refuse to release them, then I am going to plague all your territory with frogs.

But if you refuse to release my people, I am going to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.

And you must not go up by steps to my altar, so that your nakedness is not exposed.’

“If a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she will not go out as the male servants do.
