Pharaoh then summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship GOD! Only your flocks and your herds shall be left behind; even your dependents may go with you.”
Targum Onkelos
וּקְרָא פַרְעֹה לְמֹשֶׁה וַאֲמַר אִיזִילוּ פְלַחוּ קֳדָם יְיָ לְחוֹד עָנְכוֹן וְתוֹרֵיכוֹן שְׁבוּקוּ אַף טַפְלְכוֹן יֵיזֵיל עִמְּכוֹן׃
Pharaoh called to Moshe, and he said, “Go! Worship [before] Adonoy. Just let your sheep and cattle stay behind. Even your little ones can go with you.”

But Moses said, “You yourself must provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to offer up to the ETERNAL our God;
Targum Onkelos
וַאֲמַר מֹשֶׁה אַף אַתְּ תִּתֵּין בִּידַנָא נִכְסַת קוּדְשִׁין וַעֲלָוָן וְנַעֲבֵיד קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהַנָא׃
Moshe said, “You too will give us sacrifices and burnt-offerings that we will make [offer] to [before] our God.
- Exodus 10:26
וְגַם־מִקְנֵנוּ יֵלֵךְ עִמָּנוּ לֹא תִשָּׁאֵר פַּרְסָה כִּי מִמֶּנּוּ נִקַּח לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא־נֵדַע מַה־נַּעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהֹוָה עַד־בֹּאֵנוּ שָׁמָּה׃
our own livestock, too, shall go along with us—not a hoof shall remain behind: for we must select from it for the worship of the ETERNAL our God; and we shall not know with what we are to worship GOD until we arrive there.”
Targum Onkelos
וְאַף בְּעִירַנָא יֵיזֵיל עִמַּנָא לָא נַשְׁאַר מִנֵּיהּ מִדָּעַם אֲרֵי מִנֵּיהּ אֲנַחְנָא נָסְבִין לְמִפְלַח קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהַנָא וַאֲנַחְנָא לֵית אֲנַחְנָא יָדְעִין מָא נִפְלַח קֳדָם יְיָ עַד מֵיתַנָא לְתַמָּן׃
Our own flocks will also go with us. Not a single hoof [thing] will remain. We must take from them to worship [before] Adonoy our God; since we do not know with what [animals] we will worship [before] Adonoy until we get there.”
- Exodus 10:27
וַיְחַזֵּק יְהֹוָה אֶת־לֵב פַּרְעֹה וְלֹא אָבָה לְשַׁלְּחָם׃
But GOD stiffened Pharaoh’s heart and he would not agree to let them go.
Targum Onkelos
וְתַקֵּיף יְיָ יָת לִבָּא דְּפַרְעֹה וְלָא אֲבָא לְשַׁלָּחוּתְהוֹן׃
Adonoy hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he was [no longer] willing to send them away.
- Exodus 10:28
וַיֹּאמֶר־לוֹ פַרְעֹה לֵךְ מֵעָלָי הִשָּׁמֶר לְךָ אַל־תֹּסֶף רְאוֹת פָּנַי כִּי בְּיוֹם רְאֹתְךָ פָנַי תָּמוּת׃
Pharaoh said to him, “Be gone from me! Take care not to see me again, for the moment you look upon my face you shall die.”
Targum Onkelos
וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ פַּרְעֹה אִיזֵיל מֵעִלָּוָי אִסְתְּמַר לָךְ לָא תוֹסֵיף לְמִחְזֵי אַפַּי אֲרֵי בְּיוֹמָא דְּתִחְזֵי אַפַּי תְּמוּת׃

And GOD said to Moses, “I will bring but one more plague upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt; after that he shall let you go from here; indeed, when he lets you go, he will drive you out of here one and all.
Targum Onkelos
וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמֹשֶׁה עוֹד מַכְתָּשׁ חַד אַיְתִי עַל פַּרְעֹה וְעַל מִצְרָאֵי בָּתַר כֵּן יְשַׁלַּח יָתְכוֹן מִכָּא כְּשַׁלָּחוּתֵיהּ גְּמֵירָא תָּרָכָא יְתָרֵיךְ יָתְכוֹן מִכָּא׃

Tell the people to borrow, each man from his neighbor and each woman from hers, objects of silver and gold.”
Targum Onkelos
מַלֵּיל כְּעַן קֳדָם עַמָּא וְיִשְׁאֲלוּן גְּבַר מִן חַבְרֵיהּ וְאִתְּתָא מִן חֲבִרְתַּהּ מָנִין דִּכְסַף וּמָנִין דִּדְהַב׃
Speak, please [now], in the ears of [before] the people, and let each man request [borrow] from his friend, and each woman from her friend, articles of silver and articles of gold.”

וַיִּתֵּן יְהֹוָה אֶת־חֵן הָעָם בְּעֵינֵי מִצְרָיִם גַּם ׀ הָאִישׁ מֹשֶׁה גָּדוֹל מְאֹד בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בְּעֵינֵי עַבְדֵי־פַרְעֹה וּבְעֵינֵי הָעָם׃
GOD disposed the Egyptians favorably toward the people. Moreover, Moses himself was much esteemed in the land of Egypt, among Pharaoh’s courtiers and among the people.
