5And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.H310H4872H175H935H559H6547H559H3068H430H3478H5971H7971H2287H4057

2And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.H6547H559H3068H8085H6963H3478H7971H3045H3068H3478H7971

3And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.H559H430H5680H7122H3212H7969H3117H1870H4057H2076H3068H430H6293H1698H2719

4And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.H4428H4714H559H4872H175H6544H5971H4639H3212H5450

5And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.H6547H559H5971H776H7227H7673H5450

6And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,H6547H6680H3117H5065H5971H7860H559

7Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.H3254H5414H5971H8401H3835H3843H8032H8543H3212H7197H8401

8And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.H4971H3843H6213H8032H8543H7760H1639H7503H6817H559H3212H2076H430

9Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.H5656H3513H582H6213H8159H8267H1697

10And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.H5065H5971H3318H7860H559H5971H559H559H6547H5414H8401

11Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.H3212H3947H8401H834H4672H3588H1697H5656H1639

12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.H5971H6327H776H4714H7197H7179H8401

13And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.H5065H213H559H3615H4639H3117H1697H1961H8401

14And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?H7860H1121H3478H6547H5065H7760H5221H559H3615H2706H3835H8543H3117H8032H8543

15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?H7860H1121H3478H935H6817H6547H559H6213H5650

16There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.H8401H5414H5650H559H6213H3843H5650H5221H2398H5971

17But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.H559H7503H7503H559H3212H2076H3068

18Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.H3212H5647H8401H5414H5414H8506H3843

19And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.H7860H1121H3478H7200H7451H559H1639H3843H3117H3117H1697

20And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:H6293H4872H175H5324H7125H3318H6547

21And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.H559H3068H7200H8199H7381H887H5869H6547H5869H5650H5414H2719H3027H2026

22And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?H4872H7725H3068H559H136H7489H5971H7971

23For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.H935H6547H1696H8034H7489H5971H5337H5971H5337
