Exodus 5
New International Version (1984) Help
5Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.'"H310H4872H175H935H559H6547H559H3068H430H3478H5971H7971H2287H4057
2Pharaoh said, "Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go."H6547H559H3068H8085H6963H3478H7971H3045H3068H3478H7971
3Then they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword."H559H430H5680H7122H3212H7969H3117H1870H4057H2076H3068H430H6293H1698H2719
4But the king of Egypt said, "Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!"H4428H4714H559H4872H175H6544H5971H4639H3212H5450
5Then Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working."H6547H559H5971H776H7227H7673H5450
6That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and foremen in charge of the people:H6547H6680H3117H5065H5971H7860H559
7"You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.H3254H5414H5971H8401H3835H3843H8032H8543H3212H7197H8401
8But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'H4971H3843H6213H8032H8543H7760H1639H7503H6817H559H3212H2076H430
9Make the work harder for the men so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies."H5656H3513H582H6213H8159H8267H1697
10Then the slave drivers and the foremen went out and said to the people, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you any more straw.H5065H5971H3318H7860H559H5971H559H559H6547H5414H8401
11Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.'"H3212H3947H8401H834H4672H3588H1697H5656H1639
12So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble to use for straw.H5971H6327H776H4714H7197H7179H8401
13The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, "Complete the work required of you for each day, just as when you had straw."H5065H213H559H3615H4639H3117H1697H1961H8401
14The Israelite foremen appointed by Pharaoh's slave drivers were beaten and were asked, "Why didn't you meet your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?"H7860H1121H3478H6547H5065H7760H5221H559H3615H2706H3835H8543H3117H8032H8543
15Then the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: "Why have you treated your servants this way?H7860H1121H3478H935H6817H6547H559H6213H5650
16Your servants are given no straw, yet we are told, 'Make bricks!' Your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people."H8401H5414H5650H559H6213H3843H5650H5221H2398H5971
17Pharaoh said, "Lazy, that's what you are--lazy! That is why you keep saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.'H559H7503H7503H559H3212H2076H3068
18Now get to work. You will not be given any straw, yet you must produce your full quota of bricks."H3212H5647H8401H5414H5414H8506H3843
19The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, "You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day."H7860H1121H3478H7200H7451H559H1639H3843H3117H3117H1697
20When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them,H6293H4872H175H5324H7125H3318H6547
21and they said, "May the LORD look upon you and judge you! You have made us a stench to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us."H559H3068H7200H8199H7381H887H5869H6547H5869H5650H5414H2719H3027H2026
22Moses returned to the LORD and said, "O Lord, why have you brought trouble upon this people? Is this why you sent me?H4872H7725H3068H559H136H7489H5971H7971
23Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble upon this people, and you have not rescued your people at all."H935H6547H1696H8034H7489H5971H5337H5971H5337
