Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd Moses said, thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings,.... Sheep, rams, and goats for sacrifices, and oxen for burnt offerings; and that of his own, as Jarchi interprets it; but rather the meaning is, that besides having their little ones with them, they must be allowed also to take their cattle for sacrifices and burnt offerings: that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God; might have wherewith to offer up in sacrifice to him as he shall require.
This site's exposition
only your flocks and herds must stay behind
on Exodus 10:24-25
The last counteroffer keeps the cattle back, which would send Israel out to a feast with nothing to offer at it. Moses answers that the sacrifices and burnt offerings have to come out of their own animals.
This site's exposition
You must also provide us with sacrifices
Pharaoh wants the flocks kept behind, and Moses answers that Israel must have animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings. John Gill reads the demand as leave to take Israel's own cattle.

But the crisis is approaching, and Moses insists on every iota of his demand. The cattle would be needed for sacrifice--how many or how few could not be known till their arrival at the scene of religious observance. But the emancipation of Israel from Egyptian bondage was to be complete.
