His role was to communicate God's demands and lead the Israelites out of Egypt. This phrase highlights Moses' boldness and authority in confronting Pharaoh, a powerful ruler, which is a recurring theme in the Exodus narrative.<p><b>You must also provide us</b><br>This demand underscores the necessity of Pharaoh's cooperation in the Israelites' worship of God. It reflects the broader theme of divine sovereignty over earthly powers. The request for provision from Pharaoh, who had enslaved the Israelites, emphasizes God's power to compel even the most resistant hearts to fulfill His purposes.<p><b>with sacrifices and burnt offerings</b><br>Sacrifices and burnt offerings were central to Israelite worship, symbolizing atonement, dedication, and communion with God. The mention of these offerings points to the importance of worship and obedience in the covenant relationship between God and His people. It also foreshadows the sacrificial system that would be established in the Mosaic Law, which ultimately points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.<p><b>to present to the LORD our God</b><br>This phrase highlights the covenant relationship between the Israelites and Yahweh, distinguishing Him as their God. It emphasizes the purpose of the Exodus: to worship and serve God freely. The use of "our God" signifies a personal and communal relationship, contrasting with the Egyptian gods. This relationship is foundational to Israel's identity and mission, as seen throughout the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egyptian bondage.

The cattle must go because the feast which they are about to keep requires sacrifices- they must <span class="accented">all</span> go, because the Israelites do not as yet know what animals, or how many of each, will be required of them. The feast was a new thing, without precedent; its ritual was not yet laid down.
