SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:18
Y oirán tu voz; e irás tú, y los ancianos de Israel, al rey de Egipto, y le diréis: El SEÑOR Dios de los hebreos, nos ha encontrado; por tanto nosotros iremos ahora camino de tres días por el desierto, para que sacrifiquemos al SEÑOR nuestro Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:18
Verse 18. They shall hearken to thy voice] This assurance was necessary to encourage him in an enterprise so dangerous and important. Three days' journey into the wilderness] Evidently intending Mount Sinai, which is reputed to be about three days' journey, the shortest way, from the land of Goshen. In ancient times, distances were computed by the time required to pass over them. Thus, instead of miles, furlongs, &c., it was said, the distance from one place to another was so many days', so many hours' journey; and it continues the same in all countries where there are no regular roads or highways.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-22 - Moses' success with the elders of Israel would be good. God, who, by his grace, inclines the heart, and opens the ear, could say beforehand They shall hearken to thy voice; for he would make them willing in thi day of power. As to Pharaoh, Moses is here told that petitions an persuasions, and humble complaints, would not prevail with him; nor mighty hand stretched out in signs and wonders. But those wil certainly be broken by the power of God's hand, who will not bow to the power of his word. Pharaoh's people should furnish Israel with riche at their departure. In Pharaoh's tyranny and Israel's oppression, we see the miserable, abject state of sinners. However galling the yoke they drudge on till the Lord sends redemption. With the invitations of the gospel, God sends the teaching of his Spirit. Thus are men mad willing to seek and to strive for deliverance. Satan loses his power to hold them, they come forth with all they have and are, and apply all to the glory of God and the service of his church __________________________________________________________________
