Chapter 5
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.
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.
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.
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.
5
And
Pharaoh
said,
Behold,
the
people
of
the
land
now
are
many,
and
ye
make
them
rest
from
their
burdens.
6
And
Pharaoh
commanded
the
same
day
the
taskmasters
of
the
people,
and
their
officers,
saying,
7
Ye
shall
no
more
give
the
people
straw
to
make
brick,
as
heretofore:
let
them
go
and
gather
straw
for
themselves.
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.
9
Let
there
more
work
be
laid
upon
the
men,
that
they
may
labour
therein;
and
let
them
not
regard
vain
words.
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.
11
Go
ye,
get
you
straw
where
ye
can
find
it:
yet
not
ought
of
your
work
shall
be
diminished.
12
So
the
people
were
scattered
abroad
throughout
all
the
land
of
Egypt
to
gather
stubble
instead
of
straw.
13
And
the
taskmasters
hasted
them,
saying,
Fulfil
your
works,
your
daily
tasks,
as
when
there
was
straw.
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?
15
Then
the
officers
of
the
children
of
Israel
came
and
cried
unto
Pharaoh,
saying,
Wherefore
dealest
thou
thus
with
thy
servants?
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.
17
But
he
said,
Ye
are
idle,
ye
are
idle:
therefore
ye
say,
Let
us
go
and
do
sacrifice
to
the
Lord.
18
Go
therefore
now,
and
work;
for
there
shall
no
straw
be
given
you,
yet
shall
ye
deliver
the
tale
of
bricks.
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.
20
And
they
met
Moses
and
Aaron,
who
stood
in
the
way,
as
they
came
forth
from
Pharaoh:
21
And
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.
22
And
Moses
returned
unto
the
Lord,
and
said,
Lord,
wherefore
hast
thou
so
evil
entreated
this
people?
why
is
it
that
thou
hast
sent
me?
23
For
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.
