ગુજરાતીનિર્ગમન ૮:૨૬
પરંતુ મૂસાએ કહ્યું, “એ પ્રમાણે કરવું ઉચિત નથી, કારણ કે અમે અમારા ઈશ્વર યહોવાહને અર્પણ ચઢાવીએ તેને મિસરના લોકો અપવિત્ર ગણે છે. તેથી મિસરના લોકો જેને પવિત્ર ગણે છે તેવી આહુતિ જો અમે આપીએ તો તેઓ અમને પથ્થરો મારીને મારી નાખે નહિ?
हिन्दीनिर्गमन ८:२६
मूसा ने कहा, “ऐसा करना उचित नहीं; क्योंकि हम अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा के लिये मिस्रियों की घृणित वस्तु बलिदान करेंगे; और यदि हम मिस्रियों के देखते उनकी घृणित वस्तु बलिदान करें तो क्या वे हमको पथरवाह न करेंगे?
