EX-5:1 And 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.
EX-5:2 And 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.
EX-5:3 And 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.
EX-5:4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye,
Moses and
Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your
burdens.
EX-5:5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now
[are] many, and
ye make them rest from their burdens.
EX-5:6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of
the people, and
their officers, saying,
EX-5:7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
heretofore:
let them go and gather straw for themselves.
EX-5:8 And 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.
EX-5:9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may
labour
therein; and let them not regard vain words.
EX-5:10 And 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.
EX-5:11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not
ought of your work
shall be diminished.
EX-5:12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the
land of Egypt
to gather stubble instead of straw.
EX-5:13 And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your
works, [your]
daily tasks, as when there was straw.
EX-5:14 And 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?
EX-5:15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and
cried unto
Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
EX-5:16 There 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.
EX-5:17 But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye
say, Let us
go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.
EX-5:18 Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw
be given you,
yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
EX-5:19 And 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.
EX-5:20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as
they came
forth from Pharaoh:
