And they will listen to your voice, and you will go, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you will say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews has met with us, and now let us please go [on] a journey of three days into the desert, and let us sacrifice to Yahweh our God.'

And they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go [on] a three-day journey into the desert, and let us sacrifice to Yahweh our God, lest he strike us with plague or with sword."

We will go a journey of three days into the desert, and we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God according to what he says to us."

So Moses stretched his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.

No one could see anyone else, nor could anyone get up from his place for three days. But there was light for all the Israelis in their dwellings.

Then Moses led Israel from the Reed Sea and they went to the desert of Shur. They traveled into the desert for three days and did not find water.

And he will say to the people, Be prepared; for three days ye shall not come near to a woman.

And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and from the people on that day about three thousand persons fell.
