Verse 3

Exodus 5:3

"Three day’s journey" - distance and not the time they would be gone. No promise made that they would return. See NET notes. Genesis 31:22-23, Numbers 10:33, Numbers 33:8,

It is interesting that in the retelling of their travels in Num. 33 that they traveled three days after passing thru the Red Sea before making camp at Marah.
