In Exodus 3:18, this is the original command to go three days into the wilderness to sacrifice — the very request that creates the conflict here.

Exodus 9:3 shows the immediate consequence of Pharaoh's refusal — a severe plague on livestock, escalating the judgment.

In Genesis 43:32, the Egyptians considered eating with Hebrews an abomination — the same cultural barrier that makes sacrificing their gods dangerous.

In Genesis 46:34, shepherds are an abomination to Egyptians — explains why Hebrew worship practices were offensive to them.

In Deuteronomy 7:26, bringing an abomination into your house makes you detestable — directly echoes the 'abomination' concern in Exodus.

In 2 Corinthians 6:14-17, this same principle of separation from idolatrous practices is applied to the church — 'come out from among them'.
