Exodus 3:18

They [the elders of Israel] will listen to you. Then you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say: The Lord (Yahweh), the God of the Hebrews, has appeared to us. We ask your permission to go three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God.
