Not a hoof is to be left behind! For we must take these animals to serve the LORD our God. Until we arrive there, we do not know what we must use to serve the LORD.” 27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to release them. 28 Pharaoh said to him,“Go from me! Watch out for yourself! Do not appear before me again, for when you see my face you will die!” 29 Moses said,“As you wish! I will not see your face again.”
